'''Oversight''' (sometimes referred to as Suppression) is the ability to delete pages, revisions, log entries, and files from the public view, with the additional ability to hide this content from normal [[Administrators]] (sysops). Only when the content is hidden from Administrators is it called Oversight/suppression. |

== Permission == |
|||
Permission is granted by adding users to the <code>Oversight</code> group. Requests for permissions should be left at the [[Stewards' noticeboard]]. |
|||
== Assignment == |
|||
Oversight / suppression is usually only used to: |
|||
* Hide non-public personal information about a real individual. This could be private information about you or others |
|||
** This includes a telephone number, an address or location, the name of a workplace or school, other online and offline identities, a date of birth, accidentally disclosed IP addresses, and (subject to oversighter judgment) other information of an identifying nature. |
|||
* Hide clearly private, personal, or non-public information. |
|||
** We suppress some highly sensitive and potentially harmful non-public information, even if it does not strictly help "identify" the person. In the past, we have suppressed content such as the self-disclosure of age or date of birth of a minor, or an individual's medical information. This is subject to oversighter discretion. |
|||
* Remove clearly (or probably) libelous posts when we have no editorial need to keep the revision. |
|||
* Remove gross vandalism that we would delete if usual deletion tools could deal with it. This includes grossly improper user names. (This is an interim policy and subject to change.) |
|||
* Oversight may be used for other reasons: We are not likely to make other exceptions, but reserve the right to do so. |
|||
== Identification == |
|||
Users must identify themselves to Orain staff and be logged at the [[Identification log]] before they can be given Oversight permissions. |
