Description FT2 2009-03-19 14:19:48 UTC
EXAMPLE 1:
----------

A sample entry in the suppression log, for a hidden item, looks like this:

TIMESTAMP OVERSIGHTER (talk | contribs | block) changed revision visibility of ARTICLENAME ‎(hid content (applied restrictions to administrators) for 1 revision: remove personal attack) (Change visibility) 

TIMESTAMP OVERSIGHTER (talk | contribs | block) changed revision visibility of ARTICLENAME ‎(hid content, edit summary, username (applied restrictions to administrators) for 1 revision: Didn't happen) (Change visibility) 


But if the item hidden is a log entry, it looks like this, which is extremely obscure for other patrollers and reviewers:

TIMESTAMP OVERSIGHTER (talk | contribs | block) changed event visibility of (Move log) ‎ (hid content, edit summary (applied restrictions to administrators) for 1 event: removal of personal information) (Change visibility)

TIMESTAMP OVERSIGHTER (talk | contribs | block) changed event visibility of (Deletion log) ‎ (hid content, edit summary, username (applied restrictions to administrators) for 1 event: Unecessary log entry) (Change visibility)



EXAMPLE 2:
----------

Likewise in the delete log, changes made through RevisionDeleted are not clearly detailed (compared to entries from ordinary deletion), which obscures its use and hinders review:

01:51, February 18, 2009 FT2 (talk | contribs | block) deleted "Hindustan Hamara Citizens' Initiative" ‎ (CSD A7: Article on a person, group, or web content, doesn't indicate the importance or significance of its subject) (restore) 
23:25, February 17, 2009 FT2 (talk | contribs | block) restored "User:FT2/test" ‎ (3 revisions restored) 

But: 

19:19, February 10, 2009 FT2 (talk | contribs | block) changed event visibility of (Move log) ‎ (hid edit summary for 1 event: also remove edit comment) (Change visibility)


The log entries when RevisionDeleted is used, must be made a lot clearer, if RevDeleted is going to be successfully rolled out. Suggested format something like this:


TIMESTAMP USERNAME (talk | contribs | block) changed visibility of a log entry (move of SOURCEPAGENAME to DESTINATIONPAGENAME - username hidden, edit summary hidden for <N> revisions) "Defamatory comments in log" ‎(Change)
