Multifunctional script for new pages patrollers; features can be selectively disabled.


1. Special:NewPages is replaced with a sortable table.
  • / button can be used to switch back to ordinary list
  • comment ←Created page with 'ABC...' is shortened into ABC...
  • [+patrol] button adds direct [patrol] links which could be used to quickly mark pages as patrolled without opening them first


2. patrol tab on articles
  • apppears on all relatively new articles (even already patrolled) next to watch tab
  • marks page as patrolled
  • can be used when standard [Mark this page as patrolled] link already disappeared (after your edit) and you don't want to go back in your browser history


3. In-page patrolling
  • page is marked as patrolled Ajax-style, just like «watch/unwatch» tab
  • note that this does not save any traffic, as this could only be done pseudo-Ajax way
