Don't log all post edits in staff action logs for a user-merge

Merge User Accounts

I just tried this and it spams the staff action logs with each post edit. I think it would be more useful to add ‘merge user’ as a staff action and not log every single post change.

I think ‘merge user’ is a staff action log already. It shouldn’t be logging each post change. :thinking:

Unfortunately, this user had several thousand posts…

Looking into this a bit deeper, I’m seeing the same thing in our staff action logs dating back a fair bit (over a year or more) so this does indeed seem to be the expected process (or it’s been broken for a while :slight_smile:)

Let’s slide this into UX for consideration for a change.
