Create "autopatrolled" user group on Danish Wikisource
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Title:
Create "autopatrolled" user group on Danish Wikisource

Description:
There has been an increase in activity on the Danish Wikisource project, which is a positive development.
However, this also results in many new pages and edits being marked as unpatrolled, making it more difficult to identify actual vandalism among legitimate contributions.

To address this, we request the creation of an *autopatrolled* user group (autopatrolled) on da.wikisource.org.
This group would automatically mark edits from trusted and experienced users as patrolled, reducing the workload for administrators and later other patrollers.

Requested configuration:

  • Create a new user group: autopatrolled
  • Assign the following right(s):
    • autopatrol — automatically marks own edits as patrolled
  • Add and remove of the group autopatrolled should be allowed by sysop

Administrators should be able to add and remove the “autopatrolled” group. I’ve updated the description.
