Recent changes patrol is a feature that can help to decrease redundancy with many people checking the same edit. Users that have been granted patrolling rights may take part in the recent changes patrol. The patrol is a way to show that each edit has been checked to make sure it conforms to the policies of this wiki. It also prevents a duplication of effort by clearly indicating which edits have and have not been checked. Edits made by users with patrol rights are automatically marked as patrolled.
