Summary: link color in delete/undelete actions (on
recentchanges, watchlist) disregards current page
status
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Recent changes
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: m8r-cyc...@mailinator.com

the page-titles affected above should appear in a consistent color, to
reflect their vital status at the time of the special-page query.
it appears their current behavior is to remain red for notices of deletion
and blue for notices of undeletion, and not account for superseding events,
which is quite confusing.
<moreover>
when clicking on a "red" link a user expects to find an edit form (generally
a blank one, to wit) or a permissions error at worst. having a 301 redirect
to "/wiki/An_extant_page" if/when "&redlink=1" proves false violates the
least-astonishment principle. i could go into greater detail about the head-
aches associated with that on another ticket if desired.
