Description Nathan Larson 2014-02-06 12:48:55 UTC 
Presently, DefaultSettings.php says #$wgGroupPermissions['*']['patrolmarks'] = false; // let anons see what was patrolled

(git blame attributes this to Tim Starling)

I propose uncommenting it and changing the false to true so that by default, anons will be able to see what was patrolled. That will be good for transparency. It's unclear what purpose it serves to not let anons be able to get this information by API. Presently, per InitialiseSettings.php, ruwiki and eswiki have patrolmarks set to true for anons.

To clarify, by default anons don't see the red exclamation marks in Special:RecentChanges either.

Gerrit change #148300 . Does this need to be documented in the release notes as a configuration change?
