Description

Author: Wiki.Melancholie

Description:
Non-content pages sometimes do not get autopatrolled, even if user is sysop+sighter.

Sighters normally do auto-sight pages on creation. But this only works for the main feature (ns 0,6,10), but not for talk pages e.g.

Example:
http://als.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Navigationsleiste_Schweizer_Verteidigungsminister&rcid=175363

The page was created by User:Brian67, a sysop and sighter; but others still have to patrol that talk page afterwards (red exclamation mark).

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

New pages are not auto-patrolled if new page patrol ($wgNPPatrol) is on. It is on by default on all WMF projects.

Hmm, but this is inconsistent with the normal FlaggedRevs behaviour for content pages.
When creating an article, it automatically gets sighted by the sighter.

What is the reason for $wgNPPatrol being true when this differs from the known auto-sighting behaviour?

I think $wgNPPatrol should only be true when *also* articles/templates/images do not get auto-sighted on creation.

Coupling those two variables might be best, I think. Either both true, or both false.

A description of $wgNPPatrol is missing on MediaWiki.org, but it seems like 'autoconfirmed users' would be affected by $wgNPPatrol too, is that right? Or is there a separation of sighters and autoconfirmed users possible? So that only sighters will *always* auto-patrol (like they do auto-sight)?

Sorry, it's $wgUseNPPatrol
