<br/>'''Autopatrolled''' is a [[Bharatpedia:User access levels|user right]] given to prolific creators of clean articles and pages in order to reduce the workload of the [[Bharatpedia:New pages patrol|New Page Patrol]] process. Articles and pages created by autopatrolled editors are automatically marked as "reviewed" and "patrolled" in the system. The new page is still listed on new page lists and feeds, but is listed as if a [[Bharatpedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|new page patroller]] has already looked through it and manually marked it as legitimate or acceptable. Users with this right have '''no additional technical abilities'''; it does ''not'' change how an editor creates articles, nor does it change or "enhance" any aspect of the user experience, user interface, or the ability for an editor to create or modify pages. It only automates a process "behind the scenes" that is normally performed by other users manually. | <br/>'''Autopatrolled''' is a [[Bharatpedia:User access levels|user right]] given to prolific creators of clean articles and pages in order to reduce the workload of the [[Bharatpedia:New pages patrol|New Page Patrol]] process.

The differences with the article creation process between users ''with'' and ''without'' the autopatrolled user right is outlined and detailed below: | |||
:*'''Normal process:''' An editor ''without'' the autopatrolled user right creates a new page. The page will appear on the [[Special:NewPages|new pages list]] highlighted in yellow and not marked as "patrolled", and appear on the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|new pages feed]] and not marked as "reviewed". A patroller, as part of the [[WP:NPP|New Page Patrol process]], manually reviews the new page for issues (such as violations of [[WP:NOT|Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion]], [[WP:Copyvio|copyright violations]], [[WP:BLP|biography of living persons]] violations, [[WP:COI|conflicts of interest]] concerns, and [[WP:SOAP|advertising]]). After this review is completed, the reviewer will mark the page as "reviewed" or "patrolled". | |||
:*'''Autopatrolled process:''' An editor ''with'' the autopatrolled user right creates a new page. The page will appear on the [[Special:NewPages|new pages list]], but will be automatically marked as "patrolled" (not highlighted in yellow). As with the new pages list, it will also appear on the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|new pages feed]] and automatically marked as "reviewed". Since the new page has already been automatically marked as "patrolled" and "reviewed" by the MediaWiki software, a human patroller does not need to manually review it (but may freely do so if they decide or wish to). | |||
Additionally: | |||
*New articles are normally hidden from search engines until they are patrolled. But when an autopatrolled user creates an article it is immediately eligible for indexing by search engines. | |||
*Non-article pages{{snd}}for example templates, user essays, and [[WP:Files|Files]]{{snd}}may also be patrolled though the mechanisms are not identical to articles. | |||
*Autopatrolled was formerly referred to as '''autoreviewer''', which is still the technical name of the user group. | |||
