Hello!
I have a problem here:
Do the restore and delete page action can cancel out each other?
i.e. delete a page and then restore this page, equals we do nothing of
this page.
That's right (except for a few log entries added).
I listened the recent changes, and got more than 5
revisions of this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_Pierce,_Jr.&redirect=…
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_Pierce,_Jr.&redirect=no>
And then I got a delete page action,
later I got a restore page action, as you can see from the log:
<rc type="log" ns="0" title="William Pierce,
Jr." rcid="565524106" pageid="38932317" revid="0"
old_revid="0" user="Secret" oldlen="0"newlen="0"
timestamp="2013-03-27T04:02:12Z" comment="5
revisions restored: keep the original
redirect" logid="48107996"
logtype="delete"logaction="restore"/>
it only restored 5 revisions but not specified what the 5 revisions were.
In my opinion, the restore and delete page actions should cancel out
each other like the restore and delete revision actions.
If you didn't specify just a few revisions to restore, it should restore
all of them (if the page already had some deleted revisions before you
deleted, you may be restoring more revisions than you deleted!).
