Suppression is used primarily for the removal of non-public personal information, such as phone numbers, home addresses, workplaces, or identities of pseudonymous or anonymous individuals who have not made their identity public. This includes hiding the IP data of editors who accidentally logged out and thus inadvertently revealed their own IP addresses, as well as the IP data of editors without an account on request. Suppression is a tool of first resort in removing this information. | Suppression is used primarily for the removal of non-public personal information, such as phone numbers, home addresses, workplaces, or identities of pseudonymous or anonymous individuals who have not made their identity public.
