James, I'm sorry but you're completely wrong here. There has _never_ been deletion of any kind (page deletion, revdeletion, or oversight) in FeedbackDashboard. Hiding is not a substitute for deletion, and should not be treated as such. Unhiding feedback is an option at any time when something is hidden, and there is no log of what has been hidden. There is no policy which outlines that hiding is equivalent to deletion, and if you look at the original bugs I linked to, opening hiding to autoconfirmed editors has long been considered for this very reason. > > Copying in Philippe because I know he's worked with the moodbar team before on > some of the privacy and OS issues and will have a better understanding of > legals needs. Remember that feedback, unlike wiki pages, does not appear in the wiki anywhere other than the Special page, and is not a part of XML dumps or accessible via the API. This is why there was no deletion or oversight built into the tool to begin with. If legal would like to request to features engineering that we need these features in order to stay protected, they should do that. But it is not up to legal or you James to make decisions on features or associated permissions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
