--- Comment #6 from FT2 <[email protected]> 2009-05-18 15:00:47 UTC --- The main disadvantage of multiple logs is that you then have to search in multiple places to track down what's gone on in any matter, as multiple tools may have been used or have interacted. The essence of the logs is to allow traceability for users patrolling them. Too many logs or tools all running in parallel defeats that purpose. I don't have a problem with separate logs per se. Rather, I would like to know that when an admin or oversighter looks at a matter they can see all kinds of "deletions" affecting a page in one place, not split up over a growing number of separate logs. The prolific spread of features and logs is a good thing, but logging of actions is one of those things that should be as much rationalized as possible. Deletions should not be spread over that many logs unless there is /also/ some way to quickly check all those logs at one go. Without that ability, creating an extra delete log for a matter that is (when all said) visible and easily checkable if any user anywhere has any query, can bring more time loss and inefficiency than it brings benefit. One solution might be to allow [[Special:Log]] to have categories in its dropdown list: ALL BLOCK LOGS Global block log Local block log ALL DELETE LOGS Delete log RevDeleted log Suppression log ALL USER ACCOUNT LOGS User creation log User rename log User rights change logs etc That would solve the issue nicely. But I don't know how technically feasible it is. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
