Test Wiki:Suppressors/en: Difference between revisions

The '''suppressor''' user right allows users to perform an enhanced version of [[Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Revision deletion|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|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.

#Personal information: IP addresses of registered users, doxxing, location, phone number, etc.

#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

#Serious personal attacks: that serve little or no administrative value where hiding protects the community

#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.

#Any other material that the suppression team deems unfit for public view
