The problem is that the RevDel system is about deleting revisions and log
entries; AF log entries that block a save don't get associated with a revision,
so AF can't automatically hide these. The automatic-hiding-of-AF-hits can only
work because the AF hit is recorded against a revision that is being
suppressed. My suggestion would at least highlight that further work could be
needed.

Presumably if NLwiki has no oversighters it also can't suppress the edits using
RevDelete, so they are just leaving them available to any passing sysop? That's
rather troubling. Theoretically NLwiki could extend the "hide this AF hit" to
local sysops (assuming that's OK with legal and the community itself?), but if
they are dealing with a lot of these issues they should probably consider
getting some local OSers like other big wikis with this issue. If neither of
these options appeal, at the least if the notice is present it could be locally
adjust to advise asking for a steward to help.
