At present, usernames are the only place on the wiki where the choice is ignore or fully suppress.

As a result, faced with severely offensive "trolling" usernames being set up, a liberal stance is being followed across a range of projects (I'm told) whereby these are being full-suppressed. This isn't just enwiki, it should be noted.

Suppression is a very extreme action. Right now if those posts were anywhere else, they'd be admin-deleted or admin-level RevDeleted by those with access to such tools.

Can we have admin-level username hiding, to match the rest of RevisionDelete which includes in every other function, both admin- and oversight- level removals, so that suppression can be kept once again to its tightly limited remit, and not be used on mere "offensive posts".

Thanks.
