The '''suppressor''' user right allows users to perform an enhanced version of revision deletion, called suppression. They can do this by ticking "Apply restrictions to administrators" which hides the revision from sysops, as well as other users. This also produces a message in the private suppression log, instead of the public deletion log, which only other suppressors and [[Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Stewards|stewards]] can see. This is one of the six default MediaWiki user groups, see [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:User rights and groups|Help:User rights and groups]].

Additionally, suppression can be used to hide a username that is grossly inappropriate from the [[Special:ListUsers|username list]] at the same time as indefinitely blocking them. 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.
