Forum:Dividing up the Recent Changes Patrol

After I put out the call for some help with the Recent Changes Patrol, a few people responded. Then someone realized the obvious: if we split up reviewing the Recent Changes into different areas, then it becomes less work. Each person can focus on the area they want to be responsible for, rather than having to look at everything. No one person will have to spend a long period of time playing catch-up.

The "Primary monitors" will be the person(s) who want to make that area their main part of the Patrol. "Secondary monitors" indicate other areas a person is interested in reviewing, but after their main areas are done. They can help out if the Primary monitors are falling behind.

If you are already a part of the Patrol, you can sign up right away for one or more areas. Please choose at least one Primary and one Secondary area. If you do not currently have Rollback rights, you can submit your name for consideration to receive those rights and be part of the Patrol. (Most users can fix mistakes and poor edits, but the Patrol allows you to mark that an edit has been checked.)

Directions for how to filter the Recent Changes list will be available shortly and more will be added to this page. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:47, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

"Admin required? = Maybe" means that an admin would be able to immediately delete a problem file and move it without leaving a redirect behind, but this is not mandatory.
