Ohhh my goddd, I just spent like, *hours* marking things as "patrolled"...

It just felt like it needed to be done. I hope I'm not, like, overstepping any boundaries or anything. I'm new here, so... if I do something out of order, you need to tell me.

Also, just checking, does patrolling look for just vandalism, or for accuracy too? I tried to do both, but I'm not exactly a/an HSR *expert*, so my accuracy checking may not be 100% accurate.

Alllso, is this the sort of thing that belongs in General Discussion? It is about the Wiki, but... I'm not saying anything of real importance.

Allllllso, do I ask too many questions??

The end.

Yes. By all means, patrol Recent Changes all you want. We actually have a Committee that you can join to keep Recent Changes clean.

Though some admins check Recent Changes regardless of rather it's been patrolled or not, patroling does help keep out vandalism and should also be checked for accuracy.

If you're not sure whether the contribution is vandalism or not (or accurate or not), just don't patrol it. Someone else will see the red mark and check the change.

Thanks for all the time spent patrolling. It helps keep our wiki clean!
