Board Thread:Script Suggestions/@comment-26143371-20170422212831

Especially new users tend to do a lot of small edits to the same page (probably because they don't know of the preview functionality).

When patrolling such changes I'm not interested in the individual diffs of these edits. My current workflow is as follows: I just go to the history of the page and get a diff containing all the relevant revisions. I check that, fix whatever needs fixing and then go back and click the patrol link of every revision without even looking at the individual diffs.

The last part is unnecessary and could be greatly simplified by having a script that patrols all intermediate revisions automatically. A link to invoke it could be added below the "X intermediate revisions by Y users not shown" message.

Side note: There is already a feature request for this to be part of MediaWiki (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T10697), but even if implemented it will probably never arrive at Wikia.
