For the German Wiktionary we want to have the edit patrolling function reactivated. For the beginning we want this function for sysops only. For this purpose the following lines have to be added to LocalSettings.php: $wgUseRCPatrol = true; $wgOnlySysopsCanPatrol = true; A discussion about that issue can be found there: [http://de. wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Meinungsbild#Die_Funktion_. 22Gepr.C3.BCfte_.C3.84nderung.22_wieder_aktivieren_lassen_. 28patrolled_edit.29 de.wikt:MB]
Link to the discussion (the above one seems not to work: http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Meinungsbild#Die_Funktion_.22Gepr.C3.BCfte_.C3.84nderung.22_wieder_aktivieren_lassen_.28patrolled_edit.29 For the future we would like to have the possibility to asign that function also to elected users. We asked in the #mediawiki channel if this could be possible and got an answer of "robchurch": <pre> robchurch $wgGroupPermissions['patrol']['patrol'] = true; robchurch You'll find you can then add people to the "patrol" group. </pre> Greetings Elisabeth Anderl
Some bugger's been listening to me again. Dangerous pasttime that. ;-)
(In reply to comment #1) > robchurch $wgGroupPermissions['patrol']['patrol'] = true; > robchurch You'll find you can then add people to the "patrol" group. How to assign "patrol" group to users since the only groups a bureaucrat can assign is "sysop","bureaucrat" (special:makesysop). Special:Userrights is only available to local installation isn't it?
(In reply to comment #3) That's correct. Another fine example of where context is important; I had no idea the user in the IRC channel was talking about a Wikimedia wiki; it sounded like they wanted the feature for their own wiki. It's still technically possible for this to be configured for a Wikimedia wiki, but it wouldn't be assignable by anyone other than Stewards. Having said that, a revised version of our customised Makesysop page is in the works, since En. is currently hoping to grant rollback to certain trusted users, and would require local bureaucrats to be able to set and revoke this flag...
Because it seems that this bug maybe has become a little bit confusing, I repeat what has to be done: Please add the following two lines to LocalSettings.php: $wgUseRCPatrol = true; $wgOnlySysopsCanPatrol = true;
P.S.: All thoughts after my initial request are not under consideration at this moment.
(In reply to comment #5) > Please add the following two lines to LocalSettings.php: > > $wgUseRCPatrol = true; > $wgOnlySysopsCanPatrol = true; Just to point out Wikimedia wiki configuration isn't done like this. ;-)
Sorry, but I thought [[m:Help:Patrolled_edit]] would describe the correct procedure! Nevertheless, there has to be a relatively easy way to activate the Patrol Function, I think (you know how?). After all, it already had been activated a year ago, so it just has to be re-enabled. And other (especially small) wikis (at Wikicities, etc.) are also using this very helpful feature, by the way. Best regards, Melancholie
Yes, yes, it's simple enough for us to enable it. I was just pointing out that we don't do it like that ourselves. Didn't mean to confuse.

There is consensus on de.wikt, that this should be applied for now for sysops only Thanks and greetings Elisabeth Anderl
