Introduction to Patrollers

Patrollers are regular users who are given access to a few extra tools to help with the managing of the site and combating of vandalism.

Marking page revisions or user edits as "patrolled" to help with the reverting of poor or bad-faith edits.
Deleting and undeleting pages and uploaded images.
Protecting a page so it can not be edited or moved by anonymous users (autoconfirmed protection) or non-admins (full/sysop protection).
Quick reversion ("rollback") of undesirable edits.

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 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.
