 | This page in a nutshell: Patrolled revisions provides a way to passively monitor articles through collaborative and coordinated patrolling of article revisions. |
Patrolled revisions is a proposed system of collaborative article monitoring that relies on reviewers marking appropriately checked revisions as patrolled, then comparing new revisions to the previously patrolled ones. It is similar to flagged revisions but doesn't affect at all the version viewed by readers. Patrolled revisions was part, along with flagged protection (renamed to pending changes), of the proposal initially accepted for trial. However the pending changes trial and subsequent reinstatement did not include patrolled revisions. The collaborative aspect of this feature would represent a great improvement in efficiency over individual watchlists or uncoordinated recent-changes patrolling.
