Summary: Users allowed to see edits via revisionDeleted should be
allowed to see diffs involving the edit
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Deleting
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Example history:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Christopher_Walken&offset=20090318235900&limit=9&action=history
Example diff from that history (manually created link):
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Christopher_Walken&diff=next&oldid=278156800
A user who has access to show/hide a revision, should be able to see diffs
involving that revision which may be (for example) submitted to oversight, or
some project's Arbcom.
At present an oversighter can see the edit details, or amend visibility, but
cannot look at diffs involving that revision (eg to see what was added or
removed, if reviewing the edit or the suppression). They get the same error
that public users would get.
Typical scenario - a user reports a diff for suppression (eg due to privacy
breach), the first oversighter to see the request suppresses the edit, and
another oversighter wishes to review the edit of verify the action was
appropriate -- the diff supplied will no longer work.
PREFERRED BEHAVIOR: if the user would have show/hide access to both revisions
involved in the diff, they should have acess to the diff itself, and it should
be linked as normal in contribs and history for them. Instead, when they open
the diff, the diff page should indicate if the revision text of either edit is
hidden or suppressed (and whether public or sysops):
Ie, where it currently states
> You cannot view this diff because one of the revisions has been removed from
> the public archives. There may be details in the deletion log",
if the user /can/ see the text of both revisions, the box should say
> Parts of this revision have been hidden from general viewing.
> Details are as follows:
> Left revision: visible to all users
> Right revision: Hidden from public and from sysops ("privacy breach")
