I noticed a weird thing when I was patrolling today. There was a change made to a relatively new article. And then the patroller had me approve the new article. I would think that approving an edit made to an article would also approve edits made before it. Is this a bug or a feature? It seems it could be sliced either way.

I’m pretty sure that’s a new feature, but can’t remember what thread it was brought up in. I think it may’ve been the boosting one.

I know that it was mentioned here , although there aren’t any comments on whether it happened or not.

If I’m understanding the issue correctly, yes - if the new article has not itself been patrolled yet, and you patrol an edit that was made to it, you are also patrolling the article itself.

I don’t think I stated the issue correctly. Consider the following fictitious edits.

  1. Mar 6 2012 08:10:45
  2. Mar 5 2012 18:20:15
  3. Mar 1 2012 03:00:00 (New article)
    RCP had me patrol #1 . And then #2 . I would think if I approved 1, it should approve 2 and even three.
