--- Comment #14 from FT2 <[email protected]> 2009-12-01 22:35:10 UTC --- That's exactly the problem. It actually doesn't. "For revdeleted diffs, a link to the diff shows a link to view its contents... a good enough permanent link" The problem is, if the revision is at any time later, deleted or undeleted, the log link breaks. It doesn't even just slightly break - it breaks completely. It becomes extremely difficult to see what revisions were being referred to. As someone who has spent most of 2009 trying to get RevisionDelete ready to use, bug hunting, interface cleanup, and the like, I would dearly love to see it in use by administrators on the projects that wish it enabled. But I've already hit more than a few times, trying to work out what went on in a dispute or article history, where it's almost impossible because the links to the diffs in the logs are effectively junk links. The log entry becomes completely unusable. There's a note that admin X did Y for some reason, and no way to click through or find what revisions they did it on, and no way to see the underlying material. Sometimes theer are few deleted revisions and it's easy. Not all the time. If that's being hit often enough to impede admin work, when RevDelete is only used by oversighters, then it's going to happen more frequently if opened up to 1700 admins. An issue that kills log links this way, is likely to be a blocker by any definition. -- 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
