Oversight has no visible logs, How then can we guard the guards? Options

So I saw http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&oldid=99049386 in my watchlist. Shows removed edit

Go into history and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&action=history it's removed

View logs http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...page=Talk:4chan

Likely personal information. I was curious why no logs. None on wikipedia. None on www.mediawiki.org or meta.mediawiki.org


http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...er:66.248.97.31 says blocked for personal information

But http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Oversight says Oversight has logs.

Apparently it no longer does.

I don't see what would be so bad about making such logs public?

People might ask questions!

Actually, if used responsibly, I'd actually support keeping oversight logs under wraps. This is assuming I had any say in the matter... Oversight logs would probably be a roadmap to where the personal-attack and privacy-violation action is that day. I suspect that people who make oversighted edits often try again, and if you're monitoring the right pages, you can see what they put in when subsequent attempts are made...

So it really sort of makes sense to hide the logs, but then again, well... User:Jayjg! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/dry.gif)
