Destinypedia:Patrollers

This page is an official Destinypedia policy.

Patrollers are an all-volunteer group of experienced users who are given access to extra tools on Destinypedia.

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, uploaded images and page histories.
• 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.
