Hey YourUsername, I added you to the autopatrol group. This means that staff will no longer be required to review your edits. There are no other changes. Users are generally placed in this group when they are active, experienced, and extremely unlikely to breach Inkipedia policy. Let me know if you have any questions, and have fun editing! ~~~~

Patroller

Congratulations on receiving patroller rights! You will now have:
- Exclamation points on the recent changes page, next to each un-reviewed edit.
- A [mark as reviewed] button on diff pages. Click it after you have reviewed an edit, so that other staff members know that all necessary review and action has been completed for that edit.
- For more details, see Inkipedia's patrolling guide.
- A rollback button on the recent changes page. It instantly reverts multiple edits to a page. This should only be used for reverting vandalism and spam, because it doesn't have the option of leaving an edit summary.
- You can add a confirmation prompt to this button (to prevent accidental clicks) at: Special:Preferences > Appearance > Show a confirmation prompt when clicking on a rollback link
