Oversighters

Suppression mode should only be used for the following. Remember to set the "suppress" option if these apply.  Non-public identifying or highly personal information: e.g. name and home address, phone number, non-public email or IM, names on other websites, accidentally disclosed IPs, passwords, social security numbers, medical and criminal matters, sexuality, employers, etc. Libelous/potentially libelous statements: either on the advice of Wikimedia Foundation counsel, or when the case is clear and there is no editorial reason to keep the revision. Copyright infringement: on the advice of Wikimedia Foundation counsel. 

Stewards:

If this is an emergency, please act as needed. However, please email with an explanation of what you did, so that your action can be reviewed.

General notes

 When suppressing something, consider checking the contributions (including deleted) and other logged actions by the responsible account or IP, such as the the page creation log or the edit filter log. There may be additional material warranting action. Similarly, in the event of an egregious attempt to distribute material which should be suppressed, consider contacting a CheckUser to investigate if there is any further material which warrants action. The syntax  in the "" field will create a direct link to the indicated VRT ticket, visible only in the suppression log.
