The researcher group has this right, too. Maybe this is an option for us.

I'm not sure about the procedure and requirements to become a member of this group, so I copied Dario Taraborelli in this mail.

Hi all,

I don't know whether this is the correct mailing list to ask such question but 
it is the one I am reading regularly…

Does anyone know about the adequate procedure to get permission to request 
deleted revision information from the MediaWiki API?

I just stumbled over this problem...

{
     "servedby": "mw1140",
     "error": {
         "code": "drpermissiondenied",
         "info": "You don't have permission to view deleted revision 
information"
     }
}

For a personal wiki, this means you need the 'deletedhistory' and 'deletedtext'
permissions (which is by default assigned to the admin group).

On WMF wikis, this requires being an administrator (although I think there's
some exception for researchers handed out via Meta).
