Patrollers are users who are given access to a few extra tools to help with the combating of vandalism. A list of current Patrollers can be found here.

Additional rights

The extra rights of a patroller include:

  • Marking page revisions or user edits as "patrolled" to help with the reverting of poor or bad-faith edits.
  • Quick reversion ("rollback") of undesirable edits.
  • Blocking users who are engaged in vandalizing the wiki.
  • Hiding inappropriate vandal edits and usernames.
  • Checking user IP addresses and other information to watch for sockpuppet accounts and users evading a ban.

Can I become a Patroller?

Patrollers are usually selected on an as-needed basis only. Because the main purpose of the Patroller program is to fight vandalism and mark good-quality page revisions for the aid of preserving article quality, users with good-quality edits and regular activity under their name are usually seen as potential candidates to join the program.
