The most common form of deletion is that of an entire page or file, where the page and it's history is removed and can only be seen by administrators. However, it is sometimes necessary to remove specific entries in page history, rather than the entire page. It may also be beneficial to hide information displayed in public logs.
Revision deletion
Revision deletion is a feature that allows administrators to remove individual entries in a page history or log from public view. It can hide the text of a revision, the username that made the edit or action, or the edit summary or log summary.
Suppression
Suppression is a form of enhanced deletion accessible to suppressors that, unlike normal page deletion or revision deletion, expunges information from any form of usual access, even by Online Communipedia administrators.
