{{shortcut|TW:NSS|TW:SUP|TW:SUPPRESS}}

<translate><!--T:1--> The '''suppressor''' user right allows users to perform an enhanced version of [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Revision deletion</tvar>|revision deletion]], called suppression.</translate>

<translate><!--T:2--> They can do this by ticking ''Apply restrictions to administrators'' which hides the revision from sysops, as well as other users.</translate>

<translate><!--T:3--> This also produces a message in the private suppression log, instead of the public deletion log, which only other suppressors and [[<tvar name="2">Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Stewards</tvar>|stewards]] can see.</translate>

<translate><!--T:4--> This is one of the six default MediaWiki user groups, see [[<tvar name="3">:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:User rights and groups</tvar>|User rights and groups]].</translate>

<translate><!--T:5--> Additionally, suppression can be used to hide a username that is grossly inappropriate from the [[<tvar name="4">Special:ListUsers</tvar>|username list]] at the same time as indefinitely blocking them.</translate>

<translate><!--T:6--> This feature will also suppress the username from most logs and edits, although the username may still be visible in some places, such as rollback edit summaries.</translate>

<translate><!--T:7--> Suppressors can also perform an advanced form of page deletion, which hides the contents of the deleted page from administrators as well as other users.</translate>

<translate><!--T:8--> This right is automatically granted to stewards and system administrators, who can assign it to themselves. As of April 2025, non-steward suppressors (NSS) are no longer being appointed. The community reached a clear consensus to abolish the NSS role going forward. One existing NSS, [[User:X|X]], retained suppression rights until promotion to steward later the same month. As of then, only stewards and system administrators have access to suppression.</translate>

<translate><!--T:9--> Here is an incomplete list of things that can, and will be suppressed:</translate>

#<translate><!--T:10--> Personal information: IP addresses of registered users, doxxing, location, phone number, etc.</translate>

#<translate><!--T:11--> Copyright infringement and other illegal activities, though regular administrative measures like page or revision deletion may be used to hide the infringement if the infringement is relatively minor</translate>

#<translate><!--T:12--> Serious personal attacks: that serve little or no administrative value where hiding protects the community</translate>

#<translate><!--T:13--> Other grossly insulting material that needs to be hidden to protect the community: Grossly inappropriate or pornographic images, moving pages to grossly inappropriate names, etc.</translate>

#<translate><!--T:14--> Any other material that the suppression team deems unfit for public view</translate>
