See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:New_Pages_Feed#About_the_New_Pages_Feed_system
Patrol log is for logging page patrolled via special:newpages. When the new tool marks a page as reviewed, it will also attempt to mark the page as patrolled in special:newpages. There are some cases that a page only exists in the new tool, for example, a page gets moved from user namespace to article namespace. In that case, the action would not be in patrol log since there is no action taken in special:newpages. Sounds like we need a log for the new tool like review log or something
I assume expanding the patrol log to include both classes of action would result in duplication of entries?
Speaking as a user, I think of marking a page as patrolled/reviewed as a kind of contribution, so I would want to also see it in my Special:Contributions list, or linked to in the (talk | ... | uploads | ...) list near the top of Special:Contributions.
The list thing is a great idea; we really should surface such actions more. I'd be hesitant about including it in Special:Contributions *directly* because the filtering there is so limited as to make it very hard to exclude it if someone just wants to look at edits. But I think "patrol actions taken by $name" should totally be linked.
We can add it to the general log with another filter option called: Review Log, this log should only track review from this tool
We actually already have a review log for the pending changes suite.
or Curation Review Log?
oh, got it. So, it'd be *in* the patrol log, but with an additional filtering option, as opposed to being (strictly speaking) a log of its own?
Hi guys, good ideas. Let's have a focused design conversation in a dedicated email thread to determine what should be in the Page curation log (versus the Deletion or Patrol logs), then write up a specification and update the Mingle card. I would expect the final requirements for a Page Curation Log to use a similar format to what we did for AFT: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Article_feedback/Version_5/Feature_Requirements#Article_Feedback_Activity_Log I'll send out an email to get this started tomorrow. Once we have finalized the spec, we can post it back here for reference.
Talked with Oliver. Closing as wontfix.
