This really is a must for checkusers. en.wikinews has a number of CUs, but nobody with oversight. An offensive or privacy-revealing username will often not be unified and a speedier access to hiding it would be very, very useful. I think you could put the case that CheckUser is related to the actions of an individual that is problematic; Oversight is related to content that is problematic. Lot of overlap, but the ability to hide an offensive or otherwise vexatious username is something I think should either be on the CU side, or available to both groups. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
