Extension:Oversight 2


 * This extension may not be needed anymore as Mediawiki now has a built in feature (disabled by default) called RevisionDelete.

The Oversight extension adds a user class that allows revisions to be hidden from all users, and unhidden. This extension differs from the original in that it allows revisions to be unhidden from the front end by users with the appropriate right, instead of requiring DB access. It can unhide revisions that were hidden with the original extension, and provides this functionality to MediaWiki installations from before the inclusion of RevisionDelete in the core.

Usage
Users with the Oversight class will have an additional 'hide revision' tab when viewing an old revision, edit difference, or deleted revision. The edit can be hidden from all users by clicking this tab, adding a reason, and confirming. The most recent edit to a page cannot be hidden unless the page is deleted; to hide it, you must first revert or delete the edit.

Note that hiding revisions may create misleading edit differences, since any changes made in hidden revisions will seem to have been made by the next visible edit. In situations where good content is added in hidden revisions, there may be no simple solution.

The hidings can be viewed and undone from a private log.
