--- Comment #3 from FT2 <[email protected]> 2009-06-23 09:13:52 UTC --- To clarify, part of the impetus for this request is that testing and use of RevisionDelete is hindered because admins cannot in fact view material that is admin-deleted using RevisionDelete. Admin level RevDel (as presently configured) is therefore in effect a form of oversighting/suppression, because there is no ability for other admins to peer review that material or discuss its deletion. So it's in a bit of a limbo -- the use of RevisionDelete with the "also suppress from administrators" flag cannot really be legitimately tested at present because any material it could be tested on should by definition be oversightable and deleted with suppression. Right now we're relying on commonsense by oversighters and understanding from the community as we test admin-level RevisionDelete, but that's not ideal. Granting admins the right to read (but not at this point modify flags for) deleted-but-not-suppressed revisions would allow RevDel to be tested more fully and remove this quandary. If the technical ability to do so was available in software, that could then be achievable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
