Template:Stub/Team

Duties

Spot the Watchdog

This community team is dedicated to:

• Watching the recent changes list (alt version one and two) for malicious edits and vandalism. And reporting any such users on the: WoWWiki:Known vandals page.
• Watching the new pages list, and commenting on the page's talk page, giving the author insight into how the page may be improved.

Specific tasks

• You might want to review the Article Management Tags section of WoWWiki:Templates, since you will probably want to use some of them.
• Scan the new pages list, looking for
  • Obviously mispelled pages and put a note on the Discussion about the mispelling of the name and maybe to use  move  to move it to the correctly spelled name.
  • Page names with mixed case, like "Mount skill". Some of these pages are duplicates of other pages with names like "Mount Skill", so leave a note about that.
  • Page names that do not follow the WoWWiki naming policy.
  • Vandalism, or violatations of the do-not-post policy.
  • Stubs; marking them as such.
• Click the  watch  on pages if you want to see if the author/editor responds to your comments. Or, even easier, click the "[  ] Watch this page" checkbox before you save your comments.
• Use your judgement to leave comments about other things... tons of pages are being added all the time, so focus on pages with obvious problems.

Don't hesitate to ask any questions. You can put them on the Watchdogs Discussion page.

Patrollers

Members of the Watchdogs will also be members of the patrollers wiki user group. This gives two abilities:

• The ability to use the [Mark as patrolled] link when doing a diff. There is also the option to automatically mark your own edits as patrolled, but this appears to be disabled at the moment.
• The ability to [rollback] a user's changes. This will rollback all of those users changes to the last edit by a different editor. This should only be used in cases of vandalism. For more information see Wikipedia:Rollback feature.
