Bug ID: 59733
Summary: Deleted pages should be served as HTTP 404
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The "this page has been deleted" message should be served as HTTP 404 (note:
not HTTP 410, as in WONTFIXed bug 12345, which implies that the resource will
never come back - that is not necessarily true for deleted pages). This would
be in keeping with the "user account is not registered" message, which is
served as 404.

, regarding potential consequences of the "this page has been deleted" message
appearing in search results for living persons.
