@Jdforrester-WMF could you take a look at this and suggest which of these inconsistencies we should remedy, and how?

Re-checked in wmf.18 - the discrepancies are still present:

On RC page a user should click on a different links for the entry marked with point, which is annoying but it's a minor issue.

To summarize: to get 'Mark as patrolled' link from RC

  • for a new page, a title should be clicked
  • for a update on a User talk page (not Flow based), 'diff' should be clicked
  • for a new topic on a Flow page, a timestamp link should be clicked (and only a timestamp should be clicked).
  • for a new post on a Flow page, nothing can bring 'Mark as patrolled' link', although it is indicated as a subject of patrolling.
