Hi all, I brought this up a little while ago, but have thought some more. Here's what I'd really like:
* To see a list of articles that have changed since the last time I "okayed" them. * To be able to "okay" changes to an article, by marking it on this list. Such an "okay" would not necessarily be visible to anyone but me. * For any change made to an article to by default be considered "okay" for me. * To show this list sorted by the last time I modified it, most recent first. BONUS: show a grouped summary of all changes (diffs) made to the article since the last time we touched it, possibly with grouped edit summaries
Does this interest anyone else?
Rationale: I think a lot of people implicitly work on this kind of basis. This is why we have watchlists after all - we are interested in an article we have worked on, and want to check changes made to that article, to be sure they don't compromise it. However, we end up checking and rechecking the same articles in our watchlists, while missing articles that have scrolled past. Such a tool would formalise the basic workflow: Check changes made to our favourite articles, and sign them off as 'ok' once we've checked them.

It seems a sort of per-user patrolling. I'd add to the list accept edits by X users i select as auto-Okeyed

Yeah, that would be cool - I can imagine it would be very handy for vandal patrols.

I agree. This would be very helpful. Although it's possible to get an email alert the first time someone changes something you're watching, it's a bit cumbersome to use your inbox as a todolist for change checking. This would make things much easier.

Yeah, and you can do something similar with "My contributions", but it doesn't help distinguish between the first change made (which was ok) and the second and subsequent changes (which may not be).
Steve
Excellent idea!

I would add a three-state tag: - not seen yet - seen (hide from your watchlist/RC) - approved (hide from your watchlist, your RC list, but also from every user watchlist/RC lists who selected you as auto-Okey user)
this way, this would help team fighting for vandalism

Good, but trickier from a GUI perspective.

Please, remember that wiki has a patrolling feature, to mark changes as 'patrolled' or not. It's simply not enabled on (most) wikimedia projects.

Is this currently functional? In theory I have it enabled on my MW instance, but all I see are occasional, intermittent patrol links that don't seem to obey any obvious set of rules, or do much of anything... :)

It works as far as it's supposed to, but the built-in patrol support is quite shit, to be frank.

What's being proposed here is quite interesing in that it would be decentralised, allowing multiple definitions of "patrolled". One group of users could patrol only spelling for instance, another spam links, while another might verify accuracy in a given subject area.
No idea about the built in support.
