--- Comment #1 from Krinkle <[email protected]> ---
There's five different things at play here:

* Enable wgUseRCPatrol:
  This activates the system that shows [mark as patrolled] links
  to users who have the "patrol" user right
  (only sysops at the moment[1]).

* Grant autoconfirmed the "patrol" and "autopatrolled" right:
This will allow users with a 4-day old account to patrol edits. I highly
recommend against this as this would allow a patient vandal to patrol bad
edits, and since edits can't be unpatrolled and only 1 patrol action is
required, it would basically allow the vandal to bypass patrol completely.

However including the following, this is less insane.

* Set wgAutoConfirmAge to 30 days:
This isn't explicitly mentioned here, but is implied and fundamental. The
default on foundation wikis is 4 days. The project page[3] says "30 day old
accounts". Right now this is not the case.

In summary, to do right now:
* Enable wgUseRCPatrol

Later:
* Either:
** Set wgAutoConfirmAge to 30 days, and:
** Grant autoconfirmed the "patrol" and "autopatrolled" right
* Or:
** Create a "patroller" user group, grant it "patrol" and "autopatrolled".
** Add "patroller" to list of groups sysops can grant
** Wikivoyage admins can now give non-sysops the ability to help in patrol.
* Or:
** Create a "patroller" user group, grant it "patrol" and "autopatrolled".
** Create a new AutoPromote instance (besides "autoconfirmed") that is, unlike
autoconfirmed, set to 30 days.
