Introducing Edit Patrol: Assisting Rollbackers on the Wikipedia Android App

Latest comment: 1 month ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The Mobile Apps team has recently released a new feature in the Android app to assist rollbackers in patrolling from their mobile device without leaving the Android app. Edit Patrol is a suggested edit that allows users with rollback rights to view the recent changes feed, with access to undo, rollback, thank, and post talk page messages.

The feature is currently available on Indonesian, French, and Spanish Wikipedia. We hope to make it available to English Wikipedia rollbackers in the coming month.

You can learn more about the feature and its development on our project page. Edit Patrol does not intend to replace existing patrolling tools, rather fill some gaps that have been highlighted in the mobile space. Prior to writing a single line of code, the team conducted interviews with patrollers and conducted a comparative review of existing patrolling tools. Throughout development, we have continued to incorporate feedback from members of the community. We prioritized collaboration with communities that have traditionally had difficulty utilizing existing tools, specifically folks using mobile devices.

After initial release, we heard requests to add access to user talk warning templates in the talk page message flow. Users are now able to search and use user talk warning templates as part of the tool. For languages that do not have user warning templates, the team reviewed messages across languages & created 10 example messages that will be preloaded into the app: you can learn more about those messages and leave feedback here.

The feature currently allows users to view the feed of recent edits for only one language wiki at a time (the primary language set in their app), but we are interested to hear if there is a preference from multi-wiki rollbackers to have the ability of patrolling multiple languages in a single feed.

Please check out this presentation with more information, and a demonstration of the feature to learn more. If you have any questions or feedback, we welcome it on the project’s discussion page, or please attend our open demonstration hours for this feature on Google Meet on the 26th of April 2024 at 18 UTC (You can determine the right time in your time zone using a time zone converter tool).

Looking forward to see you all.

-== Question ==
+The Mobile Apps team has recently released a new feature in the Android app to assist rollbackers in patrolling from their mobile device without leaving the Android app. Edit Patrol is a suggested edit that allows users with rollback rights to view the recent changes feed, with access to undo, rollback, thank, and post talk page messages.
-Can global sysops edit interface pages with CSS and JS in GS-wikis? [[User:Thingofme|Thingofme]] ([[User talk:Thingofme|talk]]) 08:27, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
+The feature is currently available on Indonesian, French, and Spanish Wikipedia. We hope to make it available to English Wikipedia rollbackers in the coming month.
-:@[[User:Thingofme|Thingofme]]: Yes, they can as they have the <code>editsitejs</code>, <code>editsitecss</code>, <code>edituserjs</code> and <code>editusercss</code> rights. [[User:Majavah|Majavah]] ([[User talk:Majavah|talk!]]) 08:32, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
-::I think in 2018 local sysops can't edit sitewide CSS and JS, but I think global sysops should not be granted this right for security problems. [[User:Thingofme|Thingofme]] ([[User talk:Thingofme|talk]]) 08:35, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
+You can learn more about the feature and its development on our [[mw:Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android/Anti_Vandalism#|project page]]. Edit Patrol does not intend to replace existing patrolling tools, rather fill some gaps that have been highlighted in the mobile space. Prior to writing a single line of code, the team conducted interviews with patrollers and conducted a comparative review of existing patrolling tools.

-:::{{Re|Thingofme}} there are only 23 GS's and they must be approved after a minimum two week review and stay active to keep access.  Intadmin to their wikiset was carefully considered previously before this was added.  It was deemed to be more appropriate than collecting that access on each local project, while gaining full global-interface-editor access would be excessive.  Should any GS misuse their access, they may be swiftly sanctioned by reporting to the stewards or by failing a vote of confidence here. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 19:39, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
-::::And also GS is required to use 2FA whereas administrators are not. --'''[[User:Rschen7754|Rs]][[User talk:Rschen7754|chen]][[Special:Contributions/Rschen7754|7754]]''' 19:42, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

-:::::Yes, and 2FA was added [[/2019#2FA|precisely for this reason]]! Personally I don't see where the security problems are, especially in wikis without sysop the IA rights can be useful, even for routine maintenance activities. Honestly, all the GS flags are used carefully and only when necessary, always without altering the local community consensus, so personally I don't see any problems. P.S. I thought the same way when I was not a GS :) [[User:Superpes15|Superpes15]] ([[User talk:Superpes15|talk]]) 20:19, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
