The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Patrollers

 Patrollers  are users granted the rollback tool to keep the wiki free of any vandalism. With a single click, they can revert edits. Patrollers must apply their position. Only bureaucrats are able to grant their rollback rights.

Duties and privileges

 * Watching the recent changes and checking edits for vandalism. Always paste revert on the talk page of a user whose edits have been rollbacked; even IP addresses should be notified.
 * Reporting vandalism to the notice board or notifying an admin on the IRC or on their talk page. In the event that an admin is unable to block a vandal, place warning on the vandal's talk page. This may discourage further vandalism.
 * Patrollers are encouraged to add high traffic articles, good articles, and featured articles to their watchlist to help prevent vandalism.
 * Patrollers have the ability to move pages in the [[File:]] namespace. Images should be given names appropriate to their composition and should not contain an overabundance of numerical characters. File:2334234739784.png is discouraged, while File:Stormcloak Encampment.png is more meaningful and easier to locate.
 * Scout Special:NewPages for recently made articles that may not meet our style and formatting guidelines. Articles found here can be marked as patrolled, by scrolling to the bottom of the article and clicking [Mark this page as patrolled]. This link only appears if the page is opened through Special:NewPages. Before marking a page as patrolled, ensure it contains an infobox, wikilinks, and appropriate categories. Flag the page as a stub or as needing attention wherever applicable.
 * Maintain an overall mature and friendly demeanor when interacting with other editors.
 * Practice diplomacy when users make mistakes.
 * Pointing new users to policies and guidelines when necessary.

Maintaining the rollback tool

 * Patrollers who have not edited in exactly 30 days are considered inactive, and will no longer be displayed on our staff list unless they can prove they have made a steady return.
 * Patrollers who have gone "rogue" and turned into obvious vandals will have their rollback tool removed automatically. They can petition to have it returned on the consensus track form.
 * Patrollers will not lose their rollback tool if marked as inactive, although the " yellow " coloration of their name and their "custodial" tools of page patrolling and file renaming are indefinitely revoked. To request that a user be relieved of their rollback tool due to abuse, please petition on the consensus track form. Format the request similar to the rollback nomination layout.

Requirements

 * Possess a minimum of 500 mainspace edits
 * Demonstrate superior editing skills in compliance with the current policies and style guidelines.
 * Practice diplomacy when users make mistakes.
 * Direct new and unaware users to policy and help pages.
 * Serve as a mentor and community role model.
 * Maintain an active presence on the wiki.

How to vote/example
I nominate EbonySkyrim for the title of patroller. She has been with us awhile and she has been a help and pleasure the whole time. I have no doubt that she can handle this.

I am applying to become a patroller. As pointed out in the other application, I was advised to apply for another staff position before sysop (which is incredibly pointless, but whatever), so here you go: am I suitable for patroller? I don't think I need to go through a list of why I should be one, I revert vandalism a lot and move pages (leaving redirects behind), I'm a very active community member and we have one patroller only, so yeah...

Support
I supported before, I'll do it again. congrats Spey! :) Zippertrain85 (talk) 14:49, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

I'm not typing out a whole explanation again, Saj meets all the requirements for this position and there is really no reason to oppose this promotion that I can see. Cosmicsilver (talk) 15:10, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

Same, not typing my whole explanation again, I hate that nominations on this Wiki amount to nothing more than popularity contests, Sajuuk is great for the position, etc etc.  DRAEVAN13  15:30, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

I was hoping you'd get admin, but Patroller is the next best thing IMO. Best of luck to you, Your Brother in Arms (talk) 22:18, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

I really don't feel like writing yet another list of reasons why he should be patroller. But I'm gonna call out bluesonic once again with a quote You are too arrogant and will end up tearing this community apart are just typing things to type. What could spey possibly do with patroller Rollback to much move that page wrong LMAO. Really admin's are community leaders not patrollers so What harm could spey possibly do with patroller powers if your not aware WE only have one patroller who's only active as certain points of the day Spey isn't perfect but neither is any other user.

If Admin has to be denied Spey due to popularity, then atleast give the man the Patroller position. As I stated multiple times before, he has the talent and the motivation to properly administrate this wiki. I'd also just like to point out to the user Bluesonic1 that Speysider has been a member of this wiki for well over a year, has during that whole time continuously contributed to it without this so-called "power hungriness" and was constantly reliable. Additionally, he has contributed great things to the community, as he is, like me and several other people, directly responsible for the unwanted, and indeed unqualified, staff - Jimeee, Kennyannydenny, etc - to have finally been pushed out of this wiki by the community. One can attribute most CT threads from the early- to mid 2014 directly to Spey, and if that doesn't show that he seriously cares for this wiki and it's state, I don't even know anymore.

Neutral
Administrator and Patroller are two different things. I don't see you as a good candidate for Administrator, though I do see you as a good candidate for patroller. Still, I think some of your page moves should be talked over with administrator before you do them. I also encourage you not to "machinegun edit", when you fix 40 links at a time for hyperlinks it makes it harder for me to search through the wiki activity. I do think you should expand more on your application, you've hardly done much writing for it. I'm not voting neutral out of desperation for a fellow patroller, I'm voting because I do see potential but some issues that can be fixed/avoided in the future. ☞ Rim < Talk 21:02, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

Oppose
This is very unprofessional written compared to your other one, even if this is your second time making a application and it being a patroller application doesn't mean you should take it any less serious than a admin one. And after reading your comment on this thread, on the admin application we already mentioned disregarding rules, but now you are basically deciding conditions that prevent people from voicing their opinion. After reading this application and what i saw in Wikia chat earlier today about you still not being able to bury past problems of old staff makes me believe you are not ready for a staff position, even if i thought earlier that i was going to stay neutral this time. 18:49, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

My response to your admin application was long and detailed so I will refer back to that as to my reasons for why I feel you're not ready for a staff position. On top of that though, I need to add that it's coming across to the community very quickly that you are power-hungry for a staff position here. If that was not your intention, then I apologise, but perhaps it is useful to you that I point out what myself and others notice from the outside. You're a great editor, but still lacking in skills with the community. Your last application caused a ruckus, and you didn't waste any time starting a new application. It just doesn't look good to the rest of us, and certainly doesn't portray the level of maturity and neutral point of view that a staff member needs, nor do you stand as a good role model. After reading the first comment you added to this application, I feel even more strongly my choice in vote. You are too arrogant and will end up tearing this community apart.

Comments
Unfortunately, I must give a pre-requisite for this one: I don't want to see people writing opposes on the basis of "You just applied for sysop and got denied, why are you obsessed in becoming a staff member?": if anyone writes such things, I will be contacting a sysop to remove the vote entirely as it will be interpreted as an attempt to stir up trouble. The same goes true for trying to oppose for something that happened at least a year ago for which you have zero evidence as these will be construed as deliberate vote fixing. Sorry folks, I have to point this out now, since it happened quite a bit in the previous application. --Sajuuk talk 11:19, April 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * I will respond to Rim's concerns:
 * I also encourage you not to "machinegun edit", when you fix 40 links at a time for hyperlinks it makes it harder for me to search through the wiki activity.
 * This is a common practice to fix links. You weren't around much when a user was spamming nearly 1000 link fixes in a single day, THAT is bad editing. Tim has also done mass link fixing all at once, but I'm not seeing anyone complaining to him about "flooding the feed". RC is a tool, if a lot of edits are being made, it just means the wiki is active. At least I'm doing it in batches and not flooding the feed.
 * I do think you should expand more on your application, you've hardly done much writing for it.
 * There isn't much for me to say about it. I already know about all the tools involved for a patroller, it's just rollback and a couple of basic tools that, in my opinion, should be made more available to others (the movefiles right, vandals don't ever target files anyway, so the chances of a user making an error is close to zero).
 * Thanks for your concerns. --Sajuuk talk 21:09, April 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh Bluesonic, I'm sorry but I found your oppose quite funny, especially as I actually asked people not to oppose if it's for the reason of "You just applied for sysop and got denied, why are you obsessed in becoming a staff member?".
 * For a start, being a patroller is completely different to admin (as Rim pointed out), there is far less community involvement needed between the two, but I'm perfectly capable of being a patroller, having had such rights on other wiki's for years and never having issues.
 * Also, don't write things like you speak for the community, nobody else seems to care that I'm applying for patroller (especially as Tim RECOMMENDED I do so), so please edit your comment to make it clear you are stating your own opinion and not talking on behalf of the wiki.
 * I also love how you call me arrogant, that was pretty insulting and rude and I advise you to desist writing such things in the future, it makes you look like you have an issue with me. As pointed out by Starkiller, you are just writing random things for the sake of finding excuses to oppose me having additional rights, which is close to laughable. No offence. --Sajuuk talk 08:18, April 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * I just want to say, I actually recommended to Sajuuk that he should apply for a "lower" staff position first, as (as he pointed out) an Admin did on the other application, FYI Zippertrain85 (talk) 19:20, April 11, 2015 (UTC).
