No, its like going to http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?action=delete and expecting something to delete, even though that's impossible no deletion target is provided. Likewise markpatrolled applies to a recent change (identified by the rcid), and all links interface do this correctly. Appending that manually means nothing. I guess the user may have the patrolling system confused with something like Extension:FlaggedRevs, which is per-page, as supposed to the patrolling system, which is per-edit. -- Krinkle [1] Yes, I know FlaggedRevs flags revisions, not pages. But the flag evaluates for the whole revision content, not the edit itself and as such represents the page state and effects which revision is shown when the page is accessed etc. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
