--- Comment #7 from FT2 <[email protected]> 2010-03-10 02:58:39 UTC --- If someone leaves something of that kind, you ask an oversighter to use RevDelete, and that action (and the redacted material) is visible to all admins to scrutinize. Having tools that don't allow a practical means of scrutiny (which is how bad this can be) means uncheckable deletion logs. Whether this involves 864 admins or 1700 is almost immaterial, it's a problem whichever the number is. These are not edits that are a "bit annoying" to review. They are deletions and log deletions that literally, cannot be checked. You can't always tell what was deleted. You can't always tell who deleted or undeleted it. If there is a dispute, an ANI/RFC/RFAR case, or a request for review of an admin action, you might not be able to review it. And some number between 800 and 1700 admins will be using it hundreds or thousands of times daily. (Details: Bug 18780 comment 12). It needs this part to work. If you have a case come up needing specific revisions redacting, for now ask an oversighter. This bug's been known since March 2009 or earlier. A range of fixes been proposed (eg see bug 21279). When a fix is coded we'll have an admin-usable RevDelete system. Aaron states (bug 21279 comment 7) he may have something that will fix it. Hopefully he can make it work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
