pagepatrol's Issues

Remove 50 per page batching

Batching it by fifty searches is a bit of a pain, especially on things like pubic that I'd like to patrol frequently because half the time it is vandalism not a typo. But there are over a thousand articles containing pubic so currently I'm paging through over twenty screens most of which are empty to find a handful of examples.

'mark as safe' button could be faster

Switch 'mark as safe' button to be an AJAX request.

Make safe phrases case sensitive

Is the safe phrase feature case sensitive? Some searches really need to differentiate between IT manager and it manager.

If a safe page is safe for one query it can't be made safe for others

The safe pages feature currently seems to be interlinked, so if a safe page is safe for one query it can't be made safe for others. That prevents the tool from being scaled as the more queries the more often that will be an issue.

The user needs to be able to start new queries

set the wiki that the search will run on and any alternative or additional name spaces

The user needs to be able to set the wiki that the search will run on and any alternative or additional name spaces. For example most of my current searches could run on portal and draft space as well as mainspace. In the past I've searched for certain high risk phrases in userspace and it would be good if we could build searches that just went there.

save edits with single click

I'm now using AWB for some searches, especially the ones with only a handful of safe phrases and few or no "safe pages". It does have a big advantage though in that if it is just a typo you can just click save and it fixes it. Though I suppose adding such a feature would be a big complication.
