Hello all,

I submitted a patch for bug 3270 in bugzilla, also included below. What I changed is that now the rc bots will add the rcid variable to the http query, but only if the global variable $wgUseRCPatrol is set, which I believe is only the case in Dutch wikipedia.

This fix is very important for vandal fighting on nl.wp, because it will enable VandalFighter to mark edits as patrolled, so they aren't checked again manually at a later time (which happens now).

The patch has been tested. The revision of RecentChange.php I patched against is 1.37, which is the current revision as of this e-mail.

I hope this patch can be committed soon; it will make many Dutch users very happy!

Regards, Leon Planken (aka Oliphaunt)
