This is reasonable: it should be another bug, *if* still a problem. Doesn't seem to be one, because I can't see (for instance) the checkuser log as an option. I'm closing this bug because the problems it intends to address are unclear (or not stated at all) and the solutions proposed are not acceptable. Feel free to reopen if you think this is really needed, but please explain why: also consider to open different requests, for instance: a) the last note above; b) actual bugs like excessive number of logs created that should rather be a single log (log_type) with different actions (log_action), as already done with some logs which were merged; c) logs that should be hidden by default because they make the "all logs" view cluttered, if there's any (there shouldn't); d) a feature request for multiple selection of logs from the dropdown. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
