Revision deletion is used for many purposes, including:
- For testing
- To hide copyright infringements, where there is a clean revision to restore to
- 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 (for instance, text with diacritical marks that stretch off the log entry)
In general, please only redact the part(s) of material that fit a non-test reason. If you are testing, redact as much as you want, and then revert. This page is CC-BY-SA licensed.
