--- Comment #5 from Fæ <[email protected]> --- From a (non-sysop) bot writing perspective, it would be great to be able to get an array of previous deletions for an queried SHA-1. At the moment pywikipediabot passes back a name of a matching file, but not all matches. I suggest that the deleted file names are passed back (incredibly useful info when these contain reference numbers from the original source, such as Flickr photo ids) *unless* there were a reason to suppress the filename from the deletion log. Other basic information (dates, uploader, editors) would be great for a bot to take action on, or make decisions about. Scenarios include a bot taking different actions based on whether it sees its name as a past uploader or whether upload dates fall within the dates of a recent batch upload project. There may be privacy issues on some data elements (such as listing all past editors or uploaders), however I think we should expect to be able to automatically distinguish between ordinary deleted material (such as copyvios) and files which were deleted due to respect/privacy concerns. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
