I know that it is possible for we as moderators to redact revisions (as announced in the February 2016 Newsletter).

However, I was just searching for guidance on when such redactions should be approved or rejected by another moderator.

In this case I have received a notification to approve the redaction of a server name and a user's full name from a path that has been flagged by someone other than the poster.

I see such paths in questions frequently and would be happy to redact them, when they are flagged by the original poster.

However, my concern is that redacting them when other than the poster flags them is overuse of the tool and may set a precedent for more such flagging.

Is there any guidance on when another moderator should approve/reject Moderator Revision Redaction Approval requests?

I think such guidance should be part of any implementation to address Please add documentation about the redaction tool to the moderator help
