Suppression on the Christian rock Wiki (in the past also known as Oversighting) is a form of enhanced deletion which, unlike normal deletion, expunges information from any form of usual access even by administrators. It is used within strict limits to hide the username, revision content, and/or edit summary in order to remove defamatory material, to protect privacy, and sometimes to remove serious copyright violations. When using the suppression function on an edit, it is possible to suppress the text of a revision, the username or IP address of a contributor, and the edit summary of a contribution, or any combination thereof. This will prevent the revision from being viewed by anyone except other users with the "oversight" permission. In this way it differs from normal administrative deletion. It is also possible to suppress the username, action and target, or log summary for any public log events, like moves or blocks. Users with oversight may also hide an account entirely, which removes it from the list of accounts and suppresses its name in all log events and edits.
