Reverting vandals

Hi. After reverting a vandal, please always check their contributions. Quite often they frolick on several pages; some of them are with few watchers and may remain damaged for a long time. Lembit Staan (talk) 16:18, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

@Lembit Staan: Whoops, I won't forget to do that next time. It has been a while since I have done this vandalism patrolling. Have a great day! Patrolex (talk) 16:35, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

RedWarn

Hi, you might be interested in RedWarn. It allows you to easily revert edits with preset revert summaries, and warn users afterwards. Vukky 🏫 (Talk • As seen on Wikipedia!) 15:41, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Great job

Hello! I see you are very interested in reverting vandalism. You are doing a great job! Like Vukky said above, using tools such as Twinkle or RedWarn would greatly speed up your work! If you have questions please do ask! SunDawntalk 15:56, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

@SunDawn: I am glad to hear that my help is appreciated here. I see that these gadgets are widely used and seem to be reliable so I will look into them and try them out! If you have any other recommendations for me, then feel free to let me know! Patrolex (talk) 17:04, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
