Extension:Makepatrol

Makepatrol is an extension which allows sysops to grant and revoke patrol and autopatrol status from user accounts. You'll need a newer (or equal) MediaWiki than 1.9.0 to be able to use the autopatrol-feature. NOTE: ''This extension is deprecated as it's now possible to use the built-in user permission special-page for assigning any rights and using LocalSettings.php to assign which subset of permissions a subset of users can assign/remove to other users. This extension is now here as a legacy-fallback.''
