Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

Token[edit]
To patrol a request, a patrol token is required. Since MediaWiki 1.17, the patrol token has no longer been the same as the edit token. The patrol token is the same for all pages, but changes at every login. Patrol tokens can be obtained via action=tokens with type=patrol (MW 1.20+), or by using the following method:
