--- Comment #3 from James Alexander <jalexan...@wikimedia.org> ---
Was about to file this but but seems it's already around :). It's possible it
would have to be adjusted to require both deletedhistory and deletedtext but it
does make sense to allow access via the api without undelete. With the
principles of least access you should not have to give someone the ability to
undelete the page in order to let them see deleted information.
As an example use case (unsurprisingly from where I discovered it) a researcher
may need to see deleted information and is likely to want to use the API rather
then just the interface (where they can already view it without undelete). They
have no need to actually undelete pages and there is no reason to let them have
that ability.
