Description Mike.lifeguard 2009-05-09 00:53:05 UTC 
Similar to bug 18723, we'd like the ability to set how hidden a user is when using wpHideUser. With other parts of revision deletion, you can set whether content is hidden from sysops or not & the same would be useful for block-hiding.

Who? What would the usage of lower levels be?

Hiding usernames which are insulting/libelous but don't contain personally identifiable information.
Comment 3 Aaron Schulz 2009-05-12 00:07:03 UTC 
Why would anyone want to hide names that are just insulting, looks like overkill. The other category needs more elaboration. What Oversights want this? Adding new ways to make account names disappear is fairly serious, so some details and rationales are in order.
