I couldn't find any documentation about this, but I noticed a link that said, "Mark this article as patrolled." What does that do?
This is a new thing for 1.4 (I asked at one point in the IRC channel about something unreleated).
As far as what it actually does, I don't know.

It allows people to go through recentchanges, making sure the edits are "genuine" (i.e. not vandalism etc), and tell other people that they've done so, so everybody doesn't waste their time checking the same edit. But if I understand rightly, it doesn't quite work properly at the moment - I might be wrong about that, though, and I've no idea what it is that's wrong with it if I'm not.
