Forum:Excluding certain edits from Wiki Activity

How do you prevent certain images (which are, say, used site-wide) from appearing in Wiki Activity?

Also, how do you exclude edits to user pages from Wiki Activity? A .o. N 16:27, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

I do not believe that you can--


 * It is technically possible, but it would be a PHP change, and not something we can do ourselves. Not easily, at least.


 * You could write an on page load Javascript function to remove entries in Wiki Activity, but it would be tedious and not foolproof. Also, you would probably want to remove from Recent Changes too, so things could get ugly fast depending on how many you need to remove.
 * MediaWiki wikis have an evil backdoor extension called "Oversight" that allows hiding and removing edits even from page history, but it probably needs direct DB access and there is pretty much no way Wikia would ever let you use it. It is installed by default on all Wikia wikis. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 31 Mar 2011 4:55 PM Pacific
 * I believe oversight is the basis for the thing that staff and VSTF use to delete individual revisions of pages. But as Fandyllic said, you could theoretically run a script that finds edits with a unique identifier; for example, a specific summary. The script would then have to somehow determine the index of the edit, and delete it.
 * Alternatively, you could just get an account with a bot flag. Much simpler.
