Certainly we couldn't automatically publicize old summaries.

This was arguably a legitimate reason for oversight, but for rev_deleted it no longer works. Anyone can get a list of the articles and timestamps of all deleted revisions under the new system, logged or no. The only reason I could see to keep it secret is to prevent people from easily figuring out who deleted which revision and when -- and I don't see any justification for that. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
