The patrol user right is a specific user right that enables a user to mark edits, file uploads and page creations as patrolled.[1] This is in order to reduce the backlog of new pages, new files and unpatrolled edits. It exists to tell other patrollers something has been reviewed by a patroller, that it's not vandalism and doesn't fall outside our project scope (or that it has been reverted/deleted in such cases).
Users with the patrol
right will see a link like "[Mark as patrolled]" in the right bottom corner of any new page or new file, and on the right-hand side of any diff-view, that has not yet been patrolled. In addition, unpatrolled pages will be highlighted in yellowonSpecial:NewPages. Unpatrolled files at Special:NewFiles are not marked in any way, but can be filtered. Unpatrolled edits stand out by their ! exclamation mark in front of the line. Patrollers are supposed to check in order to see if they fall within our project scope. Acceptable pages or files should be patrolled, and non-acceptable pages or files should either be rearranged or deleted if this is not possible. The right is given by default to any administrator, but can be given to trustworthy users upon request. It's possible to either ask a specific administrator for the user right or to formally request the right at Commons:Requests for rights.
Tutti li pàggini evidinziati n giarnu nta Special:NewPages nun foru ancora contrassignati comu virificati. Chistu signìfica ca la pàggina nun fu ancora analizzata. Quannu si cuntrolla la pàggina, è nicissariu contrassignari comu virificata si si tratta di na pàggina bona, oppuru si pruponi lu tag pâ cancillazzioni. Si nun siti sicuri supra chi fari cu na pàggina, nun contrassignari comu virificata; n'àutru editor arrivedi chiù tardu.
To mark a page as patrolled, simply click the "[Mark this page as patrolled]" link in the bottom right corner of the page.
From the Recent changes click the (diff)-link of any unpatrolled edit. Then in the diff-view review the edit by clicking the "[Mark this page as patrolled]" on the righthand side. After marking the edit as patrolled you can close the page, or (in the event of vandalism or otherwise contributions not in coherence with Commons guidelines) perform an undo or rollback.
In the diff-view one can tell whether or not a talk-page exists by the color of the link. Let the user know you reverted their edit by leaving a message. See also Commons:Cuntaturi unità di vannalismu#File.
File uploads can be patrolled too, from the bottom of their description. This is still a new feature for which no specific guidelines have been developed yet.
The autopatrol user right is similar to the patrol
right, in that it is a specific user right which involves marking an action as patrolled. The differences are:
This right is commonly granted to users who aren't necessarily involved in patrolling pages, edits or uploads, but who create a high level of quality pages or uploads that do not require patrolling by other users. This reduces the backlog of Newpage and Commons:Cuntaturi unità di vannalismu#Anonymous edits. This right is also granted to users who make a large amount of good edits that do not need to be patrolled, to reduce the clutter on Watchlists.
You may apply for autopatrol at Commons:Requests_for_rights#Autopatrol.
Users with the patrol
user right should not be granted this right, as they already have it (it is redundant). Membership of the image-reviewer
user group includes the patrol
and autopatrol
user rights.
For a list of autopatrolled users, see Special:Listusers/autopatrolled (currently 7 499).
For a list of the rights of the autopatrolled
user group, see Special:ListGroupRights#autopatrolled.

right are automatically marked as "patrolled (automatic)".mass-upload
), are exempted from the abuse filter that prevents most users from uploading MP3 files on Commons and are able to move up to 32 pages per minute instead of 8.There are three CSS classes related to patrolled edits:
.not-patrolled
, so colorblind users or users who prefer a different style can, for example, add .not-patrolled { border: 2px solid black }
totheir user CSS files..unpatrolled
, for example .unpatrolled { display:none }

, you can style it in your user CSS file, for example: .patrollink { font: bold small sans-serif}
