# MSC2174: move the `redacts` property to `content`
|
|
|
|
[`m.room.redaction`](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.5.0#m-room-redaction)
|
|
events currently have an *event-level* property `redacts` which gives the event
|
|
ID of the event being redacted.
|
|
|
|
The presence of this field at the event level, rather than under the `content`
|
|
key, is anomalous. This MSC proposes that, in a future room version, the
|
|
`redacts` property be moved under the `content` key.
|
|
|
|
For backwards-compatibility with *older* clients, servers should add a `redacts`
|
|
property to the top level of `m.room.redaction` events in *newer* room versions
|
|
when serving such events over the Client-Server API.
|
|
|
|
For improved compatibility with *newer* clients, servers should add a `redacts`
|
|
property to the `content` of `m.room.redaction` events in *older* room versions
|
|
when serving such events over the Client-Server API.
|
|
|
|
## Unstable prefix
|
|
|
|
Implementations should use `org.matrix.msc2174` for the room version containing
|
|
this change until assigned to a specified room version. That room version should
|
|
use room version 6 as a base.
