Happy Tuesday, everyone!
I wanted to announce a change that Scott just pushed to Recent Changes Patrol. You’ll now notice that while patrolling, there’s a list of the templates on an article directly below its title. If there are no templates on the article, you’ll see the phrase “No templates found” here.
We pushed this change in response to the good point that we should try to prevent the rolling back of edits on articles with the {{inuse}} tag on them, since the editor likely intends to come back to those edits that are unfinished.
Hopefully this change makes it easier for patrollers to know when an edit is a work in progress! If you notice anything else that’s helpful (or problematic) about the feature while you’re patrolling, I’d love to hear about it!

And here I thought that might be a bug…
Thanks for the heads-up, Tucker, and thanks to the engineers for figuring out a way to do this
Hey look, this sounds like my idea
Glad to see this was implemented
Edit: Now if only it could exclude things like basepagename, and the templates used to format comments
A few things to keep in mind. I saw some instances in RCP just now where keypress templates are being triggered and make this list look funky…Perhaps just the major templates should be included
Also: saw the content_header/footer and others listed on edits for User_talk pages in RCP. Can this feature be tweaked a little and scaled back for pages not in namespace?

@TuckerB
great to hear that the idea from @ Tiagoroth
idea was taken up, I noticed it earlier today and it is so helpful when patrolling.
Great! https://www.wikihow.com/Patrol-Recent-Changes-on-wikiHow
needs a content update (maybe a new step?) and newer images (and ones for method 2 which don’t have any so far).
Hey Tucker!
I don’t think that we need this feature for Talk Pages - I don’t think knowing that templates like ‘comment footer’, ‘comment header’ or ‘user’ help when moderating messages. See below:
Otherwise, I love this
