As said in [1] it would be very handy, of course the summary could be hidden by
an oversighter, but the problem is that this happens quite often and that this
often includes a lot of reversions, which means lots of edit summaries that
would have to be hidden.

You may say that in the edit summary it does no harm, but then what is the
purpose of hidename when it does no harm in the summary also on smaller wikis
(where such vandalism also occurs), the names and reverts are seen in the rc
for a longer time.


Best regards.
