MarioWiki talk:Patrollers

Thanks for the new job! By the way, is rollingback the same thing as reverting something?----
 * Yes. Clicking "rollback" reverts all edits by the person who last contributed to the page. -- 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. 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. I   am   Confused  19:12, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

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

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

I think four is a good number, but that's just me. I  am   Confused  21:20, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

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

You have to keep editing...

Why Return?
If patrollers are "needed" again after another big vandal attack, won't we go through this whole cycle again? 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. 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. - 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/ . It does not show on the basic Special:Listusers dropdown box. 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.
 * Actually, no. --Blitzwing 08:25, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
 * What's a Bot? Ambidextria

List
Can someone put a list of the patrollers?

There's the list.

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.
 * The ability to use Special:Patrol. Yoshario''' [[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]
 * Ah, I see. However, the link you provided is limited to Patrollers and Sysops. What does Special:Patrol do exactly?
 * 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.

Sorry for bothering ya, but the Patrol page works to "hide" a history of certain page, for example, vandal's edits. Somehow similar to undo a submission.
 * No, you weren't bothering at all. In fact, thanks for your answer. =) I've added what rollbacking and patrolling are in the Patrollers page, just for reference. --

OK, No problem-o :P
