Since the oversight extension is disabled for a few years now (the latest logs are from December 2010), I think it's time to update the list of links concerning the target user which one sees via Special:Contributions. Some projects use different wording (oversighted edits versus hidden user contributions), for example on meta I as a steward/CU see this: (talk | block | block log | uploads | logs | deleted user contributions | user rights management | rename user | oversighted edits | abuse log | check user IP addresses | recent user checks) And on commons as a steward/CU I see this: (talk | block | block log | uploads | logs | deleted user contributions | user rights management | rename user | hidden user contributions | filter log | check user IP addresses | recent user checks) I would like to see the link to oversighted contributions be updated to the current log (Special:Log/suppress instead of Special:Oversight), so for example, please use https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=suppress&offender=Trijnstel -- instead of https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Oversight&author=Trijnstel It has the same results, namely the 'revision author' which is filled in. The old extension isn't used and the current link to oversighted edits is pretty much redundant; it's not useful to click on it as the latest suppression via oversight was done years ago so I'd appreciate it if someone could update this old link. Thank you very much.
Doesn't seem appropriate to have links to suppression logs as part of the Oversight extension. If done that should be part of core.

Well, if the new link to Special:Log/suppress?offender=Trijnstel is edited into the Oversight extension, as soon as the Oversight extension is disabled you no longer see a link to the non-Oversight suppression log. Which doesn't really make sense because the suppression tool won't be gone, Oversight will. It should be part of core, where the suppression stuff is now.
This looks like a duplicate of bug 18598 which would then allow bug 32628.
(In reply to comment #4) > This looks like a duplicate of bug 18598 which would then allow bug 32628. That is not a duplicate. Bug 18598 refers to converting previously oversighted content to suppressed content; this bug deals with changing the links offered on Special:Contributions. On the matter itself, I think, as long as bug 18598 is with us, both links should be offered rather than removing the link to the old content, which might still be of use.
Change 104711 had a related patch set uploaded by Legoktm: Give links to a user's suppressed edits on Special:Contribs https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/104711
Should this depend on bug 32628? Current behavior (with the patch) will provide two links to basically the same content. Would people find the duplicate links annoying?

(In reply to comment #8) > (In reply to comment #7) > > Would people find the duplicate links annoying? > > "People" being oversighters here, that is? Yes, anyone with the 'suppressionlog' and 'oversight' rights.

I do not find it annoying but on the other hand: (In reply to comment #4) > This looks like a duplicate of bug 18598 which would then allow bug 32628. Can't bug 18598 be solved so that we have one log again (Special:Log/suppress) after which bug 32628 can be done too (disable the old oversight extension)?
(In reply to comment #10) > Can't bug 18598 be solved so that we have one log again > (Special:Log/suppress) If you can find someone who wants to fix the patch set, yes.
Bug 18598 has been fixed. Can r104711 be merged now?

So now core has the suppressed link, I'm wondering if we should remove the OS link from the OS extension or just mark this bug as resolved.

The OS link should only be removed when the oversighted stuff is transferred to the suppression log and that hasn't happened yet as far as I can see.

The script is there, Wikimedia just hasn't run it because we think it's a better idea to improve it slightly first (make it deal with users who have been renamed since OS took place). I'll remove the link from OS anyway.
