Please add also the possibility to actively mark other
people's new creations as patrolled.

New page patrolling is enabled on simplewiki. Did you mean that autopatrollers should be allowed to patrol creations (AND changes; the two are inseparable) as well?

I'm pretty sure the discussion was only on new page patrolling, not patrolling new edits. New page patrolling is only currently enabled for sysops. We need a new right created that administrators can grant to users so their new pages are autopatrolled and they are able to patrol the new pages of others.

Yep, exactly what Gordonrox said above. There's no need for patrolling changes. Only new creations (seen on Special:NewPages) are to be patrolled. The right should be that people are autopatrolled (so their creations aren't yellow on that page) and that they can actively help help patrolling those new pages. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough said above.

autopatrol does apply to both edits and page creations, but in the simplewiki case RCPatrol is disabled, and only New Page patrol is enabled, so autopatrol right only applies to new pages.

So just to clarify, you want a new user group that can be assigned and removed by admins, and people in that usergroup should have patrol (mark other people's new pages as ok) and autopatrol (your own new pages are automatically ok) rights. Or did you mean you wanted two new usergroups, an autopatrol user group, and a seperate patrol user group?

No, exactly what you said. One usergroup with both rights. Doesn't really matter how it is named (Autopatrolled, Patroller or whatever fits best).

So far wikis using this call the group "Patroller" as in most cases users in that group participate in patrolling new pages and help with the backlog.

Since someone experienced enough to be allowed to patrol other people's page creations, the Patroller group is given the 'autopatrol' right besides the 'patrol' right.

Please note that with the 'patrol' right also comes the ability to filter to filter out only 'unpatrolled new pages' on Special:NewPage and the marks of it in other locations (RecentChanges, Watchlist, etc.)

On Commons we have both (Autopatrollers-group and Patroller-group) so that users who create good quality pages but have no interest in patrolling stuff nor should know what that even is are not confused with these red marks and [mark as patrol] links.

Yeah, we want the "Patroller" group then enabled. What you describe with the
NewPages patrolling is exactly what we want. At all this is only about the
NewPages. Other changes aren't patrolled anyway. It's only about getting help
to patroll new pages and to have your own creations automatically patrolled.

Should be good now. Thanks Barras for the helpful comments through irc! Always appreciated to have some support from the community :o)

Thanks a lot! It works exactly the way it should. Just tested it with my second account.

Thanks for doing it that quick, Ashar!
