Summary: Edits with user/IP suppression aren't obvious
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Revision deletion
AssignedTo: jschulz_4...@msn.com
ReportedBy: ft2.w...@gmail.com
When an edit has the username/IP field suppressed or deleted, it's (correctly)
not shown to most users looking at the author's contributions, to avoid making
the redaction futile. It is still visible in contributions to oversighters, but
there's no obvious indication that the edit won't be shown to other people.
I'm not sure what happens in contribs, when the user/IP is deleted (as opposed
to suppressed) with RevDel; that might need checking.
This is important because an oversighter needs to be aware when an edit has the
user/IP redacted, to avoid accidentally breaching the privacy issue that led to
suppression.
Requested enhancement: Entries within [[Special:Contributions]] that have the
username/IP is suppressed or deleted, should be clearly visible as such, so a
reviewing oversighter or (later on) admin can clearly see and knows those edits
aren't visible to most users.
