Details
Use new pages patrolling to check for vandalism.
This rudimentary protection has no direct (immediate) effect on users unless they have the required permission, but distinguishes pages which were "patrolled" from others. Users with the patrolmarks permission will see exclamation marks for unpatrolled pages in Special:RecentChanges. Patrollers get a "Mark this page as patrolled" button to the bottom right of unpatrolled pages.
Implementation is based on the recentchanges table’s rc_patrolled field. Clicking that button will change its value for the page's first revision from 0 to 1. Creations by "autopatrollers" will be marked as "autopatrolled" (rc_patrolled = 2). All unpatrolled pages will be considered patrolled after a certain number of days ($wgRCMaxAge), because the recentchanges table gets purged periodically, and the absence of a revision in the recentchanges table is treated as the revision being patrolled.
The ability to mark pages as patrolled is controlled by the user right patrol. You cannot mark your own pages as patrolled.
