This is a simple module that makes it possible to hide blocks from the main block list (/admin/build/blocks (D6) or /admin/structure/block (D7)). It does this by adding a tab to the local tasks menu on the blocks page, where site admins simpy can check the blocks they like to hide from view. This is practical for two reasons:
- Hide system blocks (Who's online, who's new, Recent content, Powered by Drupal etc.) that aren't used so that they don't clutter the disabled-listing.
- Hide blocks generated by modules that are used via code, and shouldn't be available for insertion via the blocks interface.
This can be used to unclutter the block list for editors (or any role for that matter), as they'll only be shown the blocks that they actually use (or can/should use).
