            Bug ID: 66031
           Summary: AbuseFilter should be able to identify
                    previously-deleted pages
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized

One of the common maintenance tasks in a wiki is to identify pages that were
previously deleted and are now created again. If they happen over short-term,
usually the deleting admin will notice. However, if they happen over long-term
it may fall below the radars.

For that reason, it would be ideal to have a way to create an AbuseFilter which
would apply a tag to any page creation edit that is done on a previously
deleted page. Unfortunately, none of the existing variables for AbuseFilter
allow capturing that. I propose adding an artcile_has_been_deleted variable
which returns true if a page has a history of being deleted before.
