Allow the sysops to hide the patrolled edits for them
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: rotemliss

Description:
If the sysops don't want the patrolled edits to be shown for them, please allow
them to turn it off in their preferences. It should hide the marks in the Recent
Changes and the New Pages, and (when Bug #5409 is fixed) switch the message from
"showhidepatrolled" to "showhide" - but it should not hide the two preferences
(autopatrol and the new option I suggest).

I will try to create a patch for that, although I'm not sure I know how to do that.

I've meant to say: to hide all the view of the patrolled and unpatrolled
changes. Like the non-sysops.

Yes, but it *doesn't make sense* - there is an existing visual indicator as to
whether or not something has been patrolled.

If the sysop doesn't want to use this feature, he should be able to turn it off.

That makes no sense either! Look, when an edit is patrolled, the little
exclamation mark disappears. Boom.

If you don't want to use it, then don't use it.
