Patrollers are an all-volunteer group of experienced users who are given access to extra tools on Halopedia.

Introduction to Patrollers

Patrollers are regular users who are given access to a few extra tools to help with the managing of the site and combating of vandalism.

  • Marking page revisions or user edits as "patrolled" to help with the reverting of poor or bad-faith edits.
  • Deleting and undeleting pages, uploaded images and page histories.
  • Protecting a page so it can not be edited or moved by anonymous users (autoconfirmed protection) or non-admins (full/sysop protection).
  • Quick reversion ("rollback") of undesirable edits.

List of Patrollers

Can I become a Patroller?

Patrollers are usually selected on an as-needed basis only. Because the main purpose of the Patroller program is to mark good-quality page revisions for the aid of preserving article quality, users with good-quality edits and regular activity under their name are usually seen as potential candidates to join the program.
