A while ago we had [[Forum:Enabling recent changes patrol|consensus]] to enable the [[Help:Recent changes patrol|recent changes patrol]] extension. Since then, all edits to the wiki made by users who are not [[Project:Content moderator|content moderators]] or [[Project:Administrators|administrators]] have had to be manually marked as patrolled by content moderators and administrators.

:Your proposed standards are reasonable. After all, the recent changes patrol system is mostly there to prevent vandalism and very poor quality edits from slipping through. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 22:50, August 11, 2018 (UTC)
:I'd also like to add on that, if an administrator feels that a user is suitable for the right, they should be able to grant it right away without a community discussion or a formal/informal thread at the administrators' noticeboard. Since I'm guessing that most of the people we want to have autopatrolled probably won't know about (or won't feel like requesting) the user right, this will make it much easier to get people autopatrolled and save recent changes patrollers hours of time, rather than having no one get the user right and essentially defeating the purpose of having it. Since autopatrolled should have a fairly low barrier of entry, and since this right doesn't grant any other permission (edits they make can still be manually reviewed) I think an administrator's judgement is sufficient here. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 12:56, October 11, 2018 (UTC)
==Giving rollbackers the ability to patrol edits==
Line 61 ⟶ 63:
TL;DR: Autopatrolled can be given to nearly any positively contributing editor; it's not used as a means of avoiding scrutiny for creating bad pages in good faith, but rather takes the load off recent changes patrollers so they don't have to go through a massive backlog of non-vandalism fanon edits in order to find the one edit that's vandalism. Rollback, on the other hand, is ''not'' given to everyone for good reasons. Also, if rollbacks are to now be able to mark other people's edits as patrolled, that should make it slightly ''harder'' to get rollback, since they now have an extra tool that can be used inappropriately. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 19:03, October 8, 2018 (UTC)
==Conclusion==
The new user group has been in place since October 12, and I've written a Project page for it [[The Sims Wiki:Autopatrolled|here]]. As everything seems to have been agreed upon by consensus, I am closing this thread. Any new proposals or suggestions should go in a new thread. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 16:33, October 18, 2018 (UTC)
