The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Patrollers

 Patrollers  are users granted the the rollback tool to keep the wiki free of any vandalism. With a single click, they can revert edits. Patrollers must be nominated into their positions by another user. Only bureaucrats are able to grant their rollback rights. Becoming a patroller is also the first step to becoming an administrator.

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

 * Be nominated by another user; self-nominations are prohibited.
 * 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.

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.

Alduin1996
Hello. I want to nominate Alduin1996 for the position of Patroller.

I chose to nominate him for his experience in the Elder Scrolls Wiki.

I've seen him to be very helpful around here, and I've seen him ease tensions in certain threads.

In my opinion, I believe he would make a good Patroller. :)

Also... I decided to nominate him because of his experience of easing or ending flame wars. HumbleDaedricServant (talk) 07:25, January 18, 2014 (UTC)

Oppose
Sorry, but I'm not seeing productive edits. I see a lot of one word edits and removal of relevant information. Patrollers should strive for quality and productive edits. On more than one occasion you have removed interwiki links. Interwiki links belong in an article if the page has been created on an international Elder Scrolls Wiki. I don't think you are ready for a Patroller position right now. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  07:14, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Neutral
I havent seen him Edit any Wiki Pages besides Forum posts. I'll change my Vote when he shows he can Edit.

He really doesn't edit pages enough for a type of job like this. Maybe if he starts editing more like Ketick said, I would support. Zippertrain85 (talk) 07:41, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

Comments
This comment is directed towards HumbleDaedricServant who nominated Alduin as having "experience of easing or ending flame wars" and "ease tensions in certain threads". This is what makes him a good moderator, not a good patroller. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  07:14, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Darth Orc
DarthOrc edits the pages frequently and seems to know what he/they are doing when it comes to editing. He also he/they seem to have knowledge of multiple Elder Scrolls games, such as Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. I honestly think he/they would be a great edition to the Patrollers.

Zipper, did you ask them if they wanted to be nominated? Fire Wolf Pup (talk) 01:32, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

I was unaware they needed to be asked. If so, I will do that now. Zippertrain85 (talk) 01:38, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

I asked them, and they said it was okay. Zippertrain85 (talk) 04:51, January 22, 2014 (UTC)
