Traditional Method/Special:Recentchanges List

Recent Changes Patrol App Method

  1. 1
    Go to Special:RCPatrol.
    • You can also access the app by locating the sidebar and clicking on Recent Changes Patrol App, or from the Community Dashboard. But, it's your choice how you want to access the app.
  2. 2
    Click on the 'RC Ordering' tab. Once you've clicked on it, locate the Namespace box and choose the namespace that you want to patrol.
  3. 3
    Click out of the box. Just to the right of the box is an empty space that will make the highlighting in the box go away. The patrolling tool tends to have funky problems if you leave the Namespace box highlighted with your different selection, as it will leave it at the last namespace you selected before the change.
  4. 4
    Skip the edit you're currently on, and you'll be ready to start patrolling edits in the namespace you chose!
