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! Timwi

Suggestion: in the future, mention the feature on this list _before_ committing it. You'll get some good feedback, and maybe some good ideas.

Did you make this feature optional? If not, could you, please?

You can still provide feedback; there is no need to delay the committing. In fact, committing it allows someone with the relevant access privileges to put it on a test server. So you can provide even more feedback.

This feature does not take anything away, so making it "optional" doesn't make any sense. That's like saying "please could you make the wiki syntax for bold text optional?" - you don't have to use it. You can remove the highlighting using CSS.

Fine. Whatever. *I'll* make it optional.

Set $wgUseRCPatrol = false; in LocalSettings.php to disable this feature.

Hi,
I suggest to enable the approval only for other users than the one who did the edit (if this is possible). Otherwise people submit their changes and approve them on their own. Maybe you already programmed it that way... Regards
