--- Comment #11 from [email protected] 2009-05-21 02:32:08 UTC --- (In reply to comment #9) When mentioning the watchlist, I considered hidden log entries (not edits). If you hide an entry in the user creation log, it won't show up in your watchlist (AFAIK, you can't watch the user creation log). And it's also the case for the move log, protection log, etc, even if there is a target, it doesn't show up in your watchlist (while actions to hide revisions are shown). Again, revision visibility is not the same as deletion, the effect is completely different (see comment #2). Those entries would be lost in the deletion log and largely inaccessible, thereby decreasing the transparency and abuse prevention potential, and so reducing usability and chances for the software to be enabled for admins on enwiki. Maybe it wouldn't be a big problem on wikis with low activity, but on enwiki where we have on average half a dozen deletions by minute, with peaks at several dozens by minute, it's impractical. (In reply to comment #10) We can hide the following for logs: log summary, and/or username, and/or action and target. They can also be hidden by admins when enabled, at least in the config on testwiki. Again, I was speaking of hidden log entries, that don't show up in watchlists or histories, not edits. An admin can check hidden content only when it is aware of it, if those actions are lost in the deletion log, the check won't be possible. Given the controversial nature of this, we can't afford a "don't bother until a problem is finally found" attitude. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
