'''Recent changes patrol''' is a feature that can help to decrease redundancy with many people checking the same edit.

It will highlight edits on [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] which have not been marked as "patrolled" by another user. 

This is a feature open to any [[Special:UserLogin|logged in]] user. Unchecked edits appear with an exclamation mark ('''!''') next to them. To patrol recent changes:
#Click a ''diff'' link in the recent changes list.
#After you click on the diff link, you will be taken to a page with a '''[Mark as patrolled]''' link. If the edit is fine, click on Mark as Patrolled to remove the exclamation mark from recent changes.
#If the edit is vandalism, you should [[Help:Reverting|revert]] it by clicking the rollback button. 

The feature can be enabled or disabled on any wiki on [[Special:Contact|request]], either completely (ask for the setting <tt>$wgUseRCPatrol</tt>) or enabled for admins only (ask for the setting <tt>$wgOnlySysopsCanPatrol</tt>). This feature is currently disabled by default. It is always possible for admins to patrol page creation through [[Special:NewPages]], though.

For users with the patrol right, the [[Special:Log/patrol|patrol log]] isn't shown on the [[Special:Log|cumulative log]] by default.
