Hi.
I've committed a new feature I just wrote. Recent Changes Patrol. The
commit message explains everything:
New feature: Recent Changes Patrol. All edits and new pages are
now highlighted on Special:Recentchanges and Special:Newpages
until someone "marks" them as "patrolled" using a special link.
For new pages, this link appears at the bottom of the article if
the link in Recent Changes or New Pages is followed. For all
other edits, this link appears only in the diff and only if the
diff link is followed from Recent Changes. (Might need to add
this functionality to Watchlist too; haven't done that yet.)
Since the patch you see in the CVS commit messages is useless because of
all the pointless whitespace removal, I am providing here a patch in
diff -u format which ignores the whitespace changes:

Please test this feature thoroughly. Thanks!
