RationalWiki:Vandal catcher

This page lists all recent unpatrolled actions on the wiki. If you're a janitor, review and patrol them; if not you can still revert any wandalism.

Note: This doesn't function properly if you are logged out.

Tips

 * Remember to check for plagiarism.
 * When you undo an edit, instead of reverting it, it still isn't patrolled. So please "mark as patrolled" undone edits.
 * If viewing multiple consecutive edits, only the most recent one gets patrolled. Remember to go through each edit and individually patrol them.
 * Check the abuse log, and if you are a Tech maybe consider improving the abuse filters.
 * To avoid difficulties, patrol pages before moving or deleting them.

Recent Changes
All unpatrolled edits from the 500 most recent edits in the last 90 days.

New Pages
All unpatrolled items from the 100 most recent new pages in all namespaces.

New Files
Special:NewFiles but with all patrolled files hidden.

No patrol link
In some cases (deleted file, moved page), there might not be a link to patrol the necessary revision. You will need the revid or rcid, and a token.

Go to this list of unpatrolled changes for rcid and revid of Recent Changes pages, or look to the URL of the specific revision of a page.

Then send a POST request to the API, ensuring that the header  is present, and make the request body , replacing the "+" in the patrol token with "%2B" and replacing the escaped backslashes with a single backslash. If you use the rcid, then replace  with.

Send and everything should be good.

If you can't send a POST request, it seems only the rcid will work. Get it and the token as above, then visit https://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=[page to patrol]&action=markpatrolled&rcid=[rcid]&token=[token]
