Revision deletion is a feature of the MediaWiki software allowing administrators to hide a revision from non-administrators, and place it behind an interstitial for any administrators who wish to check the revision. bureaucrats can also do the same for entries in the log.
Revision deletion can hide content, summaries, and usernames of edits and log entries. On Test Wiki, it is used for tests or non-test reasons.
Use
Revision deletion is used for many purposes, including:
- For testing
- To hide grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material
- To hide purely disruptive material, with little or no testing value (such as phishing, scams, spam, etc.)
- To hide suppressible material prior to suppression (use a discreet edit summary for this. If there is another reason you can use, like purely disruptive material, use that.)
- In some logs, like the chat log, to hide the content or edit summary where they take up too much screen space
In general, please only redact the part(s) of material that fit a non-test reason.
