Notice to all MediaWiki sysops:

New feature: Recent Changes Patrol. All edits and new pages are now highlighted on Special:Recentchanges and Special:Newpages until someone "marks" them as "patrolled" using a special link. For new pages, this link appears at the bottom of the article if the link in Recent Changes or New Pages is followed. For all other edits, this link appears only in the diff and only if the diff link is followed from Recent Changes.

Please learn how to use the recent changes patrol feature, it aids the detection of defacements.
