Could I ask what the reasoning is for this? I can see the reasoning for CheckUser being almost entirely secret, but it seems impossible to me that there's any scenario in which the mere action of the removal needs to be hidden. Are there any objections to at least adding a summary-less public log entry in addition to the full private entry? Actually, if there are reasons why the summary couldn't be public too, I'd like to hear those.
Since the fact that it's been oversighted will be visible in the page history, it seems pointless for it to be hidden in the logs ("security by obscurity" is rarely worth it). It might be worth having a public and private summary, so details of what has been oversighted can be given for those with permission to know.
