Is it possible to mark edits that are made by bots and edits that are already ptrolled? 'cause finding the last patrolled review is really hard.

I'm a patroller, and when I see bot-made edit, I realise that it's OK and I can omit revising it (and that's me above, really)

Hey @Cat of the Six,

thanks! Just to be sure that I fully understood you - Do you usually patrol by checking changes in articles on your watchlist and then you go to the diff page and navigate with the RevisionSlider through the last edits? Or do you patrol by checking recent changes? Could you describe your normal workflow a bit? At what point would you use the RevisionSlider in your work as a patroller? Best, Birgit

Well, I have several big (1-3k) categories that I usually patroll, so I scan "Special:Pending changes" for that category and I follow links (I don't know how they're called in English) between time and size of change. Than I see every article, if difference in diff is small and is not breaking rooles, structure and there is no comlicated syntax change, I patroll it without looking; oterwise I look throgh the whole article to be confident that it's all OK. So when I see a bot-made change, I just skip it (If bot is respecable). It helps when bot does wikification (~30 lines per page) after a pearson, I can check only pearson's change wich is usually very small.

Also, thanks for Phabricator tickets!

Best, Cat of the Six

Hi @Cat of the Six, thanks for your explanation! I added some more information on the reasoning behind your request to the Phabricator ticket.

Best, Birgit
