What to do
RC Patrolling primarily consists of a four step process:
- Identifying "bad" or "needy" edits
- RC patrollers efficiently identify problematic edits. A bad edit is an edit that for one reason or another needs to be entirely removed. A needy edit requires maintenance in some manner.
- Removing or improving the edit
- Needy edits should be tagged according to their need (ie {{wikify}}), or boldly changed immediately. Bad edits should likewise be tagged or deleted. Because no PESWikins like their edits to be deleted, it is important to leave concise but clear justifications on the talk page or in the edit summary. When adding tags, please consider placing them on the article's talk page rather than in the article itself.
- Warn the editor
- In the cases of deliberate vandalism or an evident lack of knowledge on PESWiki procedure, offending editors should be warned on their talk pages. While this is an optional step, it should be a regular part of a patroller's duties, as it minimizes conflict, educates new editors and alerts admins of repeat offenders. For efficiency and consistency, standard warning templates can be found here.
- Check the user's other contributions
- You'll often find more edits with similar problems. Fix those as well.
