Summary: Make diff links work (even if not click-through) for
suppressed and redacted revisions
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Revision deletion
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
A revision that the user cannot access (redaction or suppression) has a
non-working diff link in page history/contribs. The problem is there's no way
they can paste the link to it for oversighter or arbcom attention either, if
it's needed.
A user should be able to get a link for a revision (right click/copy link) to
pass on to other admins or oversighters, or if needed as evidence in disputes,
even if they cannot see the contents of that revision.
Security consideration:
A user who was given such a link by a friend would still not be able to view
the revdeleted material unless their account had suitable rights. So making the
diff link available (cur | prev) is not a security issue.
Request:
That the (cur | prev) links provide valid links even if the user does not have
access to see the underlying material.
