I think we should have a vandals/trolling tool. It will take you to wikiHow discussion pages and see if any wikiHowians are being trolls or vandalizing wikiHow talk pages (eg;designing without permission, being rude in messages) so we won’t need the Rc app to show discussion pages. We can just have this tool for them. Please support this idea. I’d use it to keep wikiHowers safer, and we could catch some people trying to put a fast on on wikiHow. Like being to young but no one see’s the revealance. If you don’t understand the last part, it’s just to catch people trying to stop wikiHow from blocking them even though they have the right to be blocked.

But I thought wikiHow was a volunteer collaboration website, not elementary school?
The only way possible to keep wikiHowers “safer” is if they guard their personal information private and securely. Any edit made by a person on an account, the account holder is responsible for it. Same thing goes for telling another editor their age, location, etc. The only person/people responsible is them. It’s not supposed to be on wikiHow’s nor anyone else’s side.
What?
Admin please move to Collab Corner.
I do agree with Lanie that wikiHow does have a lot of vandles, however, the patrollers look at each and every one, meaning, edits. I support this idea, though, I’m not sure if it’s the best. June Days
Well, I do like the idea, but the anonymous accounts vandels use are always being used by someone else at some point. The RC Patrol is one of the ways we help vandels from succeding. So, I liked where you were going, but were better off just changing back edits, like June Days said. We won’t ever know who the vandels are.
Let me get this straight - we are trying to come up with a tool that vandalizes and trolls? Cool. I know, I know, it’s more of an anti-vandal/troll tool. I still think RC handles this.

Hey! Just so you know, you can patrol only talk pages, or only discussion pages, with our current patrolling app:
I don’t really see a need for this. RC patrol takes care of this pretty well and users can report any serious problems on the administrator notice board.
