           Summary: RevDeleted links not available at times when they should
                    be or may be urgently needed
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Deleting
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


1/ There are show/hide links on page history/deleted page history, but not on
user contribs/deleted contribs.

2/ If a user clicks through to a deleted diff on "View and restore deleted
pages", there is a direct click to oversight the revision fully, but no link to
show/hide it.

The significance of this is, if material needs oversighting, admins are asked
to delete it, while waiting for an oversight response, in case of delay. 

But once the oversighter receives the request they must either use oversight
(not RevDel) or else they must /undelete/ the material then redelete using
RevDel. they can't go directly from a deleted edit (user contrib), or list of
deleted contribs, to click through to show/hide, as they can elsewhere. Forcing
them to undelete first or individually visit each affected page's history which
was edited by the user rather than just work from the user's contribs, in order
to resolve this, is a problem.

If all edits are on one page, then this is not an issue since page history does
have the "show/hide" links. But they often are not.
