MarioWiki talk:Patrollers

Thanks for the new job! By the way, is rollingback the same thing as reverting something?-- Aipom --

Yes. Clicking "rollback" reverts all edits by the person who last contributed to the page. --KPH2293 15:42, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

Quicker method of reverting to take care of vandalism quickly. You have to look at the diff of the change(s) of vandalism and click "[rollback]" on the right-hand side. Wa _T^C_@^Y 18:23, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, thanks for the job. Although I don't contribute much here, I try to solve problems. I haven't really fought vandalism here, but I'll try the best as I can.

How many more patrollers will be chosen?-- Aipom --

We'll see how two do first, then if there's still a problem I'll add more. Wa _T^C_@^Y 21:03, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

I think four is a good number, but that's just me.

How to become one

I'm interested in becoming a patroller. How can I become one?

You have to keep editing... Mr. Guy the Guy Talk!^E

Why Return?

If patrollers are "needed" again after another big vandal attack, won't we go through this whole cycle again? Wa _T^C_@^Y 20:04, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

Yep, but I think this page should be kept for historical purpose. After all, we kept the Improvement Drive. --Blitzwing 07:00, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

Delete. A sysop can do an undelete if we try a return. Jdrowlands (talk) 11:24, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

Well, this is more like a technical note that we still have the Patroller rank listed in the system. Questions may rise up because you can view a list of patrollers (which is empty, duh) at the User List. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:33, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

It won't show for me. If you're talking about Special:Listusers/patroller then that is empty, but so is [[Special:Listusers/<insert word here>]]. It does not show on the basic Special:Listusers dropdown box. Jdrowlands (talk) 13:32, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

Cobold: If we have this page for that reason, we may as well make a page for Bots, too. We do have those in the system too, you know. Marcelagus (T • C • E)

Actually, no. --Blitzwing 08:25, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

What's a Bot? Ambidextria

List

Can someone put a list of the patrollers? MisterJaffffey G0 Patrollers

Patrolling

The article states "A Patroller is a user who is given blocking, rollbacking, and patrolling rights." Could someone explain what "patrolling" is in this case? An aswer would be greatly appreciated. Shiancoe (talk)

The ability to use Special:Patrol. YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Ah, I see. However, the link you provided is limited to Patrollers and Sysops. What does Special:Patrol do exactly? Shiancoe (talk)

I dunno. Once I was a sysop on another wiki, but I didn't have the patrol extension. But I think its similar to Special:Newpages or Special:Recentchanges, where you get to patrol the things that have happened. Correct me if I'm wrong though, because, I am rather curious too.
