I didn't have time to really look into this bug, and while looking at my other
recent submissions, noticed this one and had a look at it. In
./includes/specials/SpecialNewpages.php, line 139 actually actively disables
this feature from being selectable. Now, I agree with line 136, which
eliminates the filtering of logged-in users if only logged-in users can create
pages, you'd obviously have an empty report. But the second block, lines
139-140, just prevents people who can't use patrol from being able to see what
pages are patrolled. We have the 'patrollable' function that checks to see if
the user should get the patrol links. At the least, allow non-patrollers to
access the hidepatrolled filter as a hidden option: the code that actually
blocks them from doing so, line 389, is commented "if this user cannot see
patrolled edits...", but Special:Log/patrol shows the data to them anyway.
There's really no reason to prevent anons from using this feature.
