--- Comment #5 from FT2 <[email protected]> 2010-03-10 01:13:28 UTC --- The tool needs to be "fit for purpose" before doing so. Its purpose includes tracking and easy review of deleted revisions and scrutiny of the actions admins may undertake... which at present it can't provide. Complaining there is consensus to enable a fully usable RevDelete that allows admins to scrutinize and review each others actions, when log entry link mechanisms break, is going to lead to some interesting effects. Try figuring the history of a dispute when the log tells you 2 revisions were redacted but cannot tell you which of the many possible candidates were the two being deleted or restored and who did what in which order. It was tough enough for 20 active oversighters on the occasions when they had to track unfollowable links in the logs. There are _2000_ admins who will be trying to use this tool and it will be enwiki's main (and almost exclusive) deletion tool for anything except full page deletes, once enabled. Virtually every single revision delete, undelete, redact, unredact, and delete review/scrutiny action on the entirety of enwiki? 2000 admins? Widespread log link breakage? Let's request the developers fix it first. On your second point, apologies, you're mistaken. Admins have had view-only access to RevisionDelete for many months now (when not in Suppression mode for Oversight purposes). Admins can and do have access to scrutinize all non-oversight use of RevisionDelete as they wish. They have had this for a very long time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
