On enwiki the 'Mark this page as patrolled' link appears on all new pages in all namespaces not created by users with autopatrol. This is from MediaWiki-Patrolling (wgUseNPPatrol), not PageTriage and is enabled on almost all Wikimedia wikis.

Marking a draft as patrolled should have no impact on review with AFCH (or PageCuration if moved to mainspace).

Thanks @JJMC89. I wasn't sure what the behavior was on English Wikipedia because I'm not a Patroller. So you're saying that that link currently appears in English Wikipedia for Drafts?

Yes. I just double-checked a couple new drafts to confirm.

Thank you. @Etonkovidova -- if that's the case, then I think we don't need to worry about this, right?

+ PageTriage please.

Edit: Or is this English-Wikipedia-New-Pages-Patrol ? In any case, such tasks need a codebase project tag if it's about a codebase. Feel free to correct me. :)

That's right - however, such pages will not be shown on Special:NewPagesFeed. Only articles in Article and User namespaces will be present there.

Marking an unsubmitted draft as patrolled removes it from AfC workflow.
i.e.

1. Draft is created -> it'll have 'Mark as patrolled' ->it appears in AfC as Unsubmitted and it does not appear in NPP (because of the Draft namespace).
2. 'Mark as patrolled' is clicked - the draft is not visible anymore for AfC filters.

This should not happen. The MediaWiki-level patrolling system is unrelated to AfC. Or maybe that's what you're saying here -- that this is a bug?

At any rate, the "mark as patrolled" link is fine, I think. AfC reviewers are used to it being there as well. We could maybe hide it somehow, but believe it or not there are (or could be) people who patrol drafts in this way but do not act as AfC reviewers. Outside the mainspace, I instinctively click this link when I see the page is in okay shape (ignoring quality of the content, just that the page doesn't need to be deleted).

The link is fine, and there is no need to hide/remove it. If patrolling a draft removes it from the AfC queue, then that needs to be addressed in PageTriage. (i.e. Make patrol status have no impact on the AfC queue.) Patrolling should remove pages from the NPP queue. The special case is userspace since those pages can be in both queues and patrolling those should have a different effect on each queue.
