The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Patrollers
Talk2this wiki
Redirected from The Elder Scrolls Wiki:PATROL
Patrollers are users granted the the rollback tool to keep the wiki free of any vandalism. With a single click, they can revert edits. Patrollers must be nominated into their positions by an admin. Only bureaucrats are able to grant their rollback rights. Becoming a patroller is also the first step to becoming an administrator.

Duties and privileges
- Watching the recent changes and checking edits for vandalism. Always paste {{revert}} on the talk page of a user whose edits have been rollbacked; even IP addresses should be notified.
- Reporting vandalism to the notice board or notifying an admin on the IRC or on their talk page. In the event that an admin is unable to block a vandal, place {{warning}} on the vandal's talk page. This may discourage further vandalism.
- Patrollers are encouraged to add high traffic articles, good articles, and featured articles to their watchlist to help prevent vandalism.
- Patrollers have the ability to move pages in the [[File:]] namespace. Images should be given names appropriate to their composition and should not contain an overabundance of numerical characters. File:2334234739784.png is discouraged while, File:Stormcloak Encampment.png is more meaningful and easier to locate.
- Scout Special:NewPages for recently made articles that may not meet our style and formatting guidelines. Articles found here can be marked as patrolled, by scrolling to the bottom of the article and clicking [Mark this page as patrolled]. This link only appears if the page is opened through Special:NewPages. Before marking a page as patrolled, ensure it contains an infobox, wikilinks, and appropriate categories. Flag the page as a {{stub}} or as needing {{attention}} wherever applicable.
- Maintain an overall mature and friendly demeanor when interacting with other editors.
- Practice diplomacy when users make mistakes.
- Pointing new users to policies and guidelines when necessary.
Maintaining and losing the rollback tool
- Patrollers who have not edited in exactly 30 days are considered inactive, and will no longer be displayed on our staff list unless they can prove the have made a steady return.
- Patrollers who have gone "rogue" and turned into obvious vandals will have their rollback tool removed automatically. They can petition to have it returned on the consensus track form.
- Patrollers will not lose their rollback tool if marked as inactive, although the "yellow" coloration of their name and their "custodial" tools of page patrolling and file renaming are indefinitely revoked. To request that a user be relieved of their rollback tool due to abuse, please petition on the consensus track form. Format the request similar to the rollback nomination layout.

I nominate Loonix, who is usually two steps ahead of me when it comes to undoing vandalism. Loonix's contributions speak for themselves. (Originally nominated by Timeoin) --— Radical D (bother \ stalk) 23:23, December 17, 2011 (UTC) |

Jaymz6Talk • Contribs • Edit count Vote closes on 15 August 2012 at 0:01 EST Aside from Mask, GramsJ, and Loonix, I have not personally nominated many patrollers to the wiki. I prefer to nominate admins, or prepare my acolytes for adminship to the best of my ability. Having edited Wikia for over a year, I've also seen many editors come and go. It's difficult to find good eggs that stay past their "hatching". Bad food puns aside, I believe, given Jay's track record, that he would benefit from having the rollback tool. Not only for being a trusted user, but for being a valued contributor and excellent vandalism patroller. He has uploaded many gorgeous 3D renders of Oblivion armors, and given the current status of articles on games older than Skyrim, we could use more editors willing to edit those pages with text, item stats, and images. With the rollback tool, he could quickly keep those articles clean. Given the influx of edits that may appear as a result of Dawnguard being released on PC, and soon to be released on PS3, having another patroller could prove to be advantageous. Granted, we are already under-staffed as is. Of course, there is always The Elder Scrolls Online to prepare for as well. Allies could help us ensure a smooth release date. Also, in the last week of June (as evidenced here and here), Jay was highly active as a vandalism patroller. Occasionally, even to the exclusion of the wiki's actual patrollers. Additionally, he has been a half-operator and a custodian on the wiki for several weeks now. He has employed these tools well, from what I have observed, and will only improve with time. I am willing to take him under my wing and form a sort of "Doom of Damocles " if need be. Support

Kroq-gar78Talk • Contribs • Edit count I am nominating Kroq-gar78 for patroller. He's an active contributor in helping keep the wiki up to standards. He has shown the ability and understanding it takes to be a patroller as is already familiar with the proper way to revert and report vandals via the VIP. He also already knows about monitoring CVN via IRC. Support
