Are you sure that patrol status is shown as colour coding on history pages? I'm pretty sure its not.
If you mean kind of the dim yellow colour (like in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Adult_Swim&action=history for the moment, but that will likely change soon), that means a pending change, which is a different system from patrolling. Note, on enwikipedia (but not other projects) RC patrolling is disabled, and only new page patrol is enabled (so only the first revision can have a patrol status). -- Brian On Tue, Mar 5, 2019 at 4:13 PM Сибирев Кирилл <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, we are using wikimedia http api for getting pages recent changes [1]. > We'd like to be able to distinguish patrolled and unpatrolled revisions and > this feature is supported according to docs, but we still can't use it > because of access permissions.
