Description MZMcBride 2009-03-09 09:09:06 UTC
When a person without sufficient rights visits [[Special:Log/suppress]], it should give an appropriate error message. Simply showing all logs is bad error handling.

Presumably the corollary of that is that on Special:Log/suppress we should show as much info as possible (since anyone who can see the suppress log can also see the content that was hidden or whatever) -- see bug 18335.

The supppress log itself is not public or admin visible -- for reference, the old oversight log used to be public then had to be made private too, similar reasons long ago covered.

So a non-oversighter should probably get a message saying they don't have access to this log, as per suggestion.
