As far as I know Brian is right, the patrol status in recentchanges is not
public. However, the patrol log
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/patrol> is, so with a bit of
effort you should be able to mostly reconstruct whether a revision is
patrolled or not. (I thought about reporting this as a [very minor]
security bug when I noticed it some months ago, but according to
Phabricator people seem to be well aware of this. I’m not sure why we don’t
make the patrol status public on recentchanges, to be honest.)
Cheers,
Lucas

Are you sure that patrol status is shown as colour
coding on history pages?
I'm pretty sure its not.
If you mean kind of the dim yellow colour (like in
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Ad…
for the moment, but that will likely change soon), that means a pending
change, which is a different system from patrolling.
Note, on enwikipedia (but not other projects) RC patrolling is disabled,
and only new page patrol is enabled (so only the first revision can have a
patrol status).

Hi, we are using wikimedia http api for getting
pages recent changes [1].
We'd like to be able to distinguish patrolled and unpatrolled revisions
and
this feature is supported according to docs, but
we still can't use it
because of access permissions. For example if i making requests like [2]
or
[3] i am getting {"code":
"permissiondenied", "info": "You need the
\"patrol\" or \"patrolmarks\" right to request the patrolled
flag."}
error.
This API behaviour looks inconsistent to me, because anyone can see
patrolled/unpatrolled colored markup at wikipedia revision history web
pages. I think patrol right should be checked only at write (ones that
mark
revisions patrolled or not) API requests and not
for read requests.
Is this behaviour really inconsistent and implemented that way due to
technical restrictions or am i missing something? Can it be changed, so
we
can get patrolling information for revisions or
maybe there are some
workarounds exist?
