From bug 17983 comment 1:
I can imagine stuff like:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=patrol&rcid=39515|39517|39519&token=123ABC
This could for example be used to patrol all edits from a certain page (imagine
users making 20 edits, or an edit war whatever).
Previously a tool called vPopSpeed took care of this, but that tool's been dead
for a long while. Being able to mass-do stuf in the API makes recreating such a
tool a lot easier.
