Imho it is best if this option is not enabled.
The whole world does not need to know if someone created a lot of pages that
are subject to copyrights or if someone is a vandal. This is a matter of
privacy and privacy law is totally different in e.g. the US and Belgium.
Therefore, I do not really like this option. It is not really necessary
anymore, because sysops can now obtain a list of deleted contributions using
the special page [[Special:DeletedContributions]]

Subject: Re: [Toolserver-l] About publishing lists of deleted edits
Well, we should ask Interiot if he's figured out the legal problem. If not, VVV
either knows the answer or is naive of the earlier takedown.

Hi all,
there was a feature to show deleted edits in Interiot's edits counter
but it was disabled "due to legal concerns ... until a lawyer can be
consulted" (as written in the counter page). Do these problems still
exist? Recently I've noticed another tool on Toolserver doing the same
thing:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~vvv/deletedcontribs.php?wiki=ruwiki_p&user=Edward+Chernenko
If that's not a problem, why not to allow reactivating this feature in
Interiot's editcount?
