Thanks for the new job! By the way, is rollingback the same thing as reverting something?--{{User:Aipom/sig}}--
:Yes. Clicking "rollback" reverts all edits by the person who last contributed to the page. --{{User:Yoshi626/sig}} 15:42, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
:Quicker method of reverting to take care of vandalism quickly. You have to look at the diff of the change(s) of vandalism and click "[rollback]" on the right-hand side. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 18:23, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
::Yeah, thanks for the job. Although I don't contribute much here, I try to solve problems. I haven't really fought vandalism here, but I'll try the best as I can.<br>[[User:Confused|<span style="color:Red;">I</span>]] [[User talk:Confused|<span style="color:Blue;">am</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Confused|<span style="color:Green;">Confused</span>]] 19:12, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

How many more patrollers will be chosen?--{{User:Aipom/sig}}--

We'll see how two do first, then if there's still a problem I'll add more. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 21:03, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

I think four is a good number, but that's just me.<br>[[User:Confused|<span style="color:Red;">I</span>]] [[User talk:Confused|<span style="color:Blue;">am</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Confused|<span style="color:Green;">Confused</span>]] 21:20, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

== How to become one ==

I'm interested in becoming a patroller. How can I become one?

-[[User:Dialga63]]

You have to keep editing... {{User:Mr. Guy/sig}}

== Why Return? ==

If patrollers are "needed" again after another big vandal attack, won't we go through this whole cycle again? {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 20:04, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
:Yep, but I think this page should be kept for historical purpose. After all, we kept the Improvement Drive. --[[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]] 07:00, 27 March 2008 (EDT)
::Delete. A sysop can do [[Special:Undelete|an undelete]] if we try a return. {{User:Jdrowlands/sig}} 11:24, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
:::Well, this is more like a technical note that we still have the Patroller rank listed in the system. Questions may rise up because you can view a list of patrollers (which is empty, duh) at the User List. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 11:33, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
::::It won't show for me. If you're talking about [[Special:Listusers/patroller]] then that is empty, but so is [[Special:Listusers/<insert word here>]]. It does not show on the basic [[Special:Listusers]] dropdown box. {{User:Jdrowlands/sig}} 13:32, 8 April 2008 (EDT)
:::::Cobold: If we have this page for that reason, we may as well make a page for Bots, too. We do have those in the system too, you know. {{User:Garlic Man/sig}}
::::::Actually, no. --[[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]] 08:25, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
:What's a Bot? [[User:Princess Grapes Butterfly|Ambidextria]]

==List==
Can someone put a list of the patrollers? {{User:Jaffffey/sig}}

[http://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Listusers?username=&limit=250&group=patroller] There's the list. {{User:Grapes/sig}}

==Patrolling==
The article states "A Patroller is a user who is given blocking, rollbacking, and '''patrolling''' rights." Could someone explain what "patrolling" is in this case? An aswer would be greatly appreciated. {{User|Shiancoe}}
:The ability to use [[Special:Patrol]]. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User talk:Yoshario|Y]]'''oshario'''</font></span>[[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]
::Ah, I see. However, the link you provided is limited to Patrollers and Sysops. What does Special:Patrol do exactly? {{User|Shiancoe}}
:::I dunno. Once I was a sysop on another wiki, but I didn't have the patrol extension. But I think its similar to [[Special:Newpages]] or [[Special:Recentchanges]], where you get to patrol the things that have happened. Correct me if I'm wrong though, because, I am rather curious too. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User talk:Yoshario|Y]]'''oshario'''</font></span>[[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]

Sorry for bothering ya, but the Patrol page works to "hide" a history of certain page, for example, vandal's edits. Somehow similar to undo a submission. {{User:Coincollector/sig}}
:No, you weren't bothering at all. In fact, thanks for your answer. =) I've added what rollbacking and patrolling are in the Patrollers page, just for reference. --{{User|Shiancoe}}

OK, No problem-o :P {{User:Coincollector/sig}}
