User:Od Mishehu/log redactions

When redacting edits, the job is relatively easy: Once finding the problematic text, go both forwards and backwards to find the revisions which contain the text (usually no more that a few revisions, and frequently only 1), and redact these. Occasionally the edit may have been restored, so double checking a few more edits in each direction is occasionally useful.

However, redacting logged actions is more complicated - there are more places you need to look:

Redacting usernames
When redacting a bad username, the following must be checked:


 * 1) Users with redactable usernames will frequently add redactable content in their edits; And any copyrightable edits may need to be redacted for copyright reasons;
 * 2) Check if  caught an unsigned comment on a discussion page, in which case it will insert the name in both the edit content and the summary;
 * 3) Many users will revert edits will use a rollback tool which echos the name in the summary;
 * 4) If the user does any vandalism, (s)he may be reported to WP:AIV; Watch for a report which may have remained there for a few edits, and for edit summaries which include the username in the reporting and removal;
 * 5) The user may have a user page and/or a talk page; issues involving deleting pages apply to these;
 * 6) The user may have been reported to WP:UAA and/or to WP:UAA/BOT; as with AIV, watch out for the user name as stated there;
 * 7) The user creation log, with the "Delete editor's username/IP address" part only;
 * 8) The user's block log, with the "Delete action and target" part
