විකිපීඩියා:New pages patrol/patrolled pages

(උදවු:Patrolled edit වෙතින් යළි-යොමු කරන ලදි)

Patrolled edits is a software feature installed in Wikipedia in November 2007 that indicates whether an article has been patrolled or not when accessed through the new pages feature. Unpatrolled new pages are highlighted in yellow. Any autoconfirmed user (normally any account older than 4 days with at least 10 edits) can mark a page as patrolled.

Any page highlighted in yellow in Special:NewPages has not yet been marked as patrolled. This means that it may not have been reviewed. When you check the page, you should mark it as patrolled if (a) you see that it is a good page or (b) before you tag it for deletion. If you are not sure about what to do with a page, do not mark it as patrolled; another editor will review it later.

To mark a page as patrolled, simply click the "[මෙම පිටුව පරික්‍ෂාකර බැලූ ලෙස සලකුණු කරන්න]" link that appears at the bottom right corner of any new page. Note that this link only appears when the article is opened through the link to it at new pages; the link will not show for unpatrolled new pages accessed from elsewhere.[1]

What to mark as patrolled

සංස්කරණය
  • Any page that is tagged for speedy deletion, so editors do not waste time patroling the same page multiple times.
  • Any page that is appropriate for Wikipedia.
  • A page with a tag explaining that it needs major improvement.

What not to mark as patrolled

සංස්කරණය
  • Pages you are not sure about and want a second (or third) opinion on.
  • Any page that is not speedy deletable but still has serious issues and is not (yet) tagged appropriately.
  • A log of all patrols can be seen at Special:Log/patrol. It includes usernames, articles, and the revision reviewed, and may be sorted by username or by article title.
  • Pages created by administrators, bots and autopatrolled are automatically marked as patrolled.
  • You cannot mark your own page creations as patrolled.
  • There is a "Hide patrolled edits" option on Special:Newpages so that you can ignore pages that have already been reviewed.
  • Even when the last few hours or even days have all been patrolled, there is still a big backlog and some patrollers prefer to patrol from the back of the queue. Pages expire from the unpatrolled queue after 720 hours (30 days).

There are two CSS classes related to patrolled edits:

  1. The class for non-patrolled articles in Special:Newpages is .not-patrolled, so colorblind users or users who prefer a different style can, for example, add .not-patrolled { border: 2px solid black } to their user CSS files.
  2. The class for the "Mark this page as patrolled" link in the lower-right corner of each new page is .patrollink, you can style it in your user CSS file, for example: .patrollink { font: bold small sans-serif}
