Minecraft Wiki:Patrollers

Patrollers are a custom user group for the Minecraft Wiki. A list of the current members of the patroller user group can be found here. These users have the ability to quickly rollback one's edits in one click and mark other edits as patrolled.

Patrol

 * Mark others' edits as patrolled

This right allows to mark edits made by other users as patrolled. When a patroller or admin views recent changes, all unpatrolled edits will have a red exclamation mark next to them. Additionally, there will be in option to hide patrolled edits from recent changes. When a patroller or admin clicks on a diff, there will be a "mark as patrolled" option. When this is clicked, the edit will be marked as patrolled and the appearance of that edit in recent changes will change accordingly. An edit can't be unpatrolled once it's patrolled.

Rollback

 * Quickly rollback the edits of the last user who edited a particular page

This right allows a button called "rollback" to show up next to edits in page histories, diffs, recent changes, user contributions, etc. Clicking the button will revert all of the edits the user last made to that page in one click. Additionally, there is a script that allows for an editable rollback summary, meaning that rollback can be used almost just as quickly but with a custom edit summary rather than just the default "Revert consecutive edits by [X]." This script is turned on by default, but can be disabled in one's preferences.

Patrolling edits
Edits should usually be marked as patrolled once they have been reviewed and any major problems have been fixed. For example, once an edit is reverted, or a formatting error is fixed (assuming that there are no other major problems), the edit should be marked as patrolled. The problems that should be checked for before patrolling include, but not limit to, vandalism, false information, breaking formatting errors (such as an unclosed table), or grammatical errors that are so major that the text is not understandable to readers. If there's a minor grammatical error or a sentence could be worded better, the edit can be patrolled before that's fixed. If you're not sure what to do with an edit or it adds or changes information that you can't confirm whether it's accurate or not, it's better to leave it to somebody else and find other edits to patrol - there are a lot of edits that need patrolling!

Rolling back edits
The most important things with rolling back edits is to only use the normal rollback button if the edit is obviously disruptive and the revert does not warrant an explanation. If the edit was likely made in good faith and/or you think that it would be helpful for other editors to see an explanation, use the custom edit summary rollback option or use undo/revert-to-an-earlier-revision instead.
