Uncyclopedia:Revision deletion

RevisionDelete (also known as RevDel or RevDelete) is a feature that allows administrators to remove individual entries in a page history or log from public view. It is used for "selective deletion", largely replacing the prior method (delete and partial undelete) which should no longer be used except for history merges and occasional other technical cases where it is needed. Revision deletion should only be used in accordance with common sense.

RevisionDelete can hide the text of a revision, the username that made the edit or action, or the edit summary or log summary. Use of RevisionDelete by sysadmins in "Suppression" or "Oversight" mode is meant for occasions during which even RevDel is insufficient, which hides the content from even administrators.

Any administrator may handle RevisionDelete requests made by users. Users who have concerns about any particular use of RevisionDelete may ask any administrator to review the matter, but again administrators listed in that category may be particularly well placed to do so. When contacting editors about sensitive material, email is preferred to talk page messages, to avoid exposing information to more readers.
