Inkipedia:Patrollers



Patrollers are a group of experienced users who are entrusted for making sure all edits meet Inkipedia's standards.

Commonly used functions
The position comes with three primary features:
 * Patrollers' own edits are automatically marked as reviewed.
 * Patrollers can mark others' edits as reviewed.
 * Patrollers also have access to the PatrolTool, a fancy way to patrol edits.
 * Patrollers can use the rollback tool to revert edits.

Becoming a patroller
Patroller rights can be received by being nominated or nominating yourself at Requests for Rights. After a nomination, users will vote whether the nominated user should receive the rights. Patroller rights requests are typically granted for users who frequently edit, help other users, monitor Inkipedia's recent changes, and show good judgement of those changes (reverting, improving on it, talking to the editor, being helpful). In other words, if you are already patrolling Inkipedia well, then you can get the patroller position.

Demotion
A user with rights can be demoted through a democratic process.

Patrollers that do not edit for six months may be subject to demotion, without a community vote. Resuming regular activity and contacting an admin will often result in reinstatement of rights. No formal request is necessary, just contact a friendly admin directly!

Current patrollers
 An up-to-date list can be fetched using Special:ListUsers/patrol.

These users were chosen by the community and will serve indefinite terms until they resign, become inactive, or are impeached by the community.
