Summary: RevisionDelete logging should be made clearer before
being opened to admins
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Deleting
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Blocks: 15644
EXAMPLE 1:
----------
A sample entry in the suppression log, for a hidden item, looks like this:
TIMESTAMP OVERSIGHTER (talk | contribs | block) changed revision visibility of
ARTICLENAME (hid content (applied restrictions to administrators) for 1
revision: remove personal attack) (Change visibility)
TIMESTAMP OVERSIGHTER (talk | contribs | block) changed revision visibility of
ARTICLENAME (hid content, edit summary, username (applied restrictions to
administrators) for 1 revision: Didn't happen) (Change visibility)
But if the item hidden is a log entry, it looks like this, which is extremely
obscure for other patrollers and reviewers:
TIMESTAMP OVERSIGHTER (talk | contribs | block) changed event visibility of
(Move log) (hid content, edit summary (applied restrictions to
administrators) for 1 event: removal of personal information) (Change
visibility)
TIMESTAMP OVERSIGHTER (talk | contribs | block) changed event visibility of
(Deletion log) (hid content, edit summary, username (applied restrictions
to administrators) for 1 event: Unecessary log entry) (Change visibility)
EXAMPLE 2:
----------
Likewise in the delete log, changes made through RevisionDeleted are not
clearly detailed (compared to entries from ordinary deletion), which obscures
its use and hinders review:
01:51, February 18, 2009 FT2 (talk | contribs | block) deleted "Hindustan
Hamara Citizens' Initiative" (CSD A7: Article on a person, group, or web
content, doesn't indicate the importance or significance of its subject)
(restore)
23:25, February 17, 2009 FT2 (talk | contribs | block) restored "User:FT2/test"
(3 revisions restored)
But:
19:19, February 10, 2009 FT2 (talk | contribs | block) changed event visibility
of (Move log) (hid edit summary for 1 event: also remove edit comment)
(Change visibility)
The log entries when RevisionDeleted is used, must be made a lot clearer, if
RevDeleted is going to be successfully rolled out. Suggested format something
like this:
TIMESTAMP USERNAME (talk | contribs | block) changed visibility of a log entry
(move of SOURCEPAGENAME to DESTINATIONPAGENAME - username hidden, edit summary
hidden for <N> revisions) "Defamatory comments in log" (Change)
