Display review count instead of patrol count for enwiki only
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
Enwiki is the only wiki to use mw:Extension:PageTriage, so folks looking at the enwiki XTools patrol count (native [[mw:Help:Patrolled edits]] feature) are usually going to want the data from the review count instead (PageTriage), which will be more accurate. I propose hiding the patrol count for enwiki only and replacing it with a review count. We should use this quarry query to generate the review count: https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/70425

There is a very small number of folks (1 that I know of) that still use the '[Mark this page as patrolled]' links in non-mainspace, so might actually want the patrol count instead of the review count. However I think it will confuse many users if we display both, and that it is better to ignore this edge case and hide patrol completely.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

  • WP:PERM/NPP
  • WP:RFA

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
Patrol data should in theory map 1:1 to review data, but does not due to architectural differences between the native patrolled edits system and PageTriage, bugs (T346215, T337356), and very rarely users that are clicking "[Mark this page as patrolled]" outside of mainspace. So patrol data can be really inaccurate. Most folks are looking for reviewed data. The benefits of doing this would be...

  • more accurate data
  • more intuitive
