Per community consensus please add the following group permission for dewiki: $wgGroupPermissions['sysop' ]['suppressredirect'] = true;

This isn't a dupe. This is for dewiki, where there is consensus to do this. The other bug is for doing to by default in MediaWiki and on all WMF sites.
Well, yes.. But does it make sense to fix it for one wiki only, when it should rather be done for all wikis at once?
@P.Copp: Well, this is not only a technical issue, but also a question of what the community wants. And I can't see a clear consensus that rollbackers are granted suppressredirect right - so that has to be decided first. On the other hand, here we already have a consensus here, so changing this userright is much less controversial.
You will certainly be having a hard time finding a wiki, where there's no consensus to give that right to _sysops_. So I can't see a reason for giving the right to sysops on dewiki, while leaving it diabled on other wikis.
Done for dewiki. Have a vote on meta or something if you want it enabled on the other wikis.
