Meta:Autopatrollers

The autopatrol permission automatically marks all edits made by editors with the permission as patrolled, thus saving time for patrollers. This pseudo-right is granted to experienced users who have demonstrated an understanding of Meta policies and guidelines.

The autopatrol user right is intended to reduce the workload of patrollers and causes edits made by members of the autopatrolled group to be automatically marked as patrolled. Members of the group are called autopatrollers, yet are not called patrollers unless they also have the patrol right. Membership means that the account can be trusted not to submit inappropriate material, deliberately or otherwise, and that the user submits new material often enough that it is more efficient to mark it all as approved preemptively.

Any administrator can grant this right at their discretion to trusted users who have demonstrated they are familiar with Meta's policies and guidelines.

Becoming an autopatroller does not authorize any additional action, but grants the autopatrol pseudo-right, which is automatically "used" when performing actions subject to patrolling.
