Minecraft Wiki:Patroller requests/header

This page is for collaboratively verifying changes that others have made on the wiki. Both admins and patrollers have the ability to mark pages and edits as patrolled as a way of confirming verification, but while using this tool they cannot always verify everything themselves. Using this page, they can declare that they can't patrol that edit yet for a specified reason.

By sharing what edits they cannot patrol themselves on this page, and other patrollers or editors communicating back what they know, these unpatrollable edits will be easier and faster spotted and dealt with. This helps to fixing false information, misinformation and sneaky vandalism. This also helps to share verified information between patrolling users and additionally, this serves as a backlog of such info as well.

How does this work


 * 1) A [ patroller] or [ administrator] posts a   (click link for documentation) on this page, asking for the verification of a single piece of factual information with a link to each related unpatrollable edit. These requests are sorted by the page the edits relate to, under a linked header.
 * 2) Another trusted editor (might be a patroller or a non-patroller) answers the request by providing sourced information to contribute to verifying the unpatrollable edits. This may require play-testing or fact-checking, just recalling from memory is not useful.
 * 3) If full verification requires additional work/replies, the request is marked as "wip" for the progress icon, to show it isn't finished yet. Repeat point 2
 * 4) When enough information is gathered to fully verify the edits of the request, a patrolling user may mark the related edits as patrolled and then mark the request as "done" for the checkmark icon. This may be the user who originally posted the request, or another patrolling user.

Confirming/patrolling edits

In this section, all (questionable) edits are listed that cannot be patrolled yet until someone can confirm their correctness. Please reply to each individual list item as if it were a talk page, to explain/confirm/debunk whether the related edit(s) is/are correct or not. This may require play-testing, research or some other reliable source. Hide new requests | Hide progressed requests | Hide finished requests | (enabled by this gadget)
