Brion is currenlty working on a facility to extend the definition of "deleted": http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bitfields_for_rev_deleted This will presumably enable the handling of deleted edits on contributions summaries in new and exciting ways :-) HTH HAND -- Phil [[en:User:Phil Boswell]]

[snip] If the new system is to be used for all deletions, then nothing. Under the present deletion system, quite a lot. At present, revision of deleted pages are actually moved to a separate table, and it would be a lot of work to recover them simply for a contributions list. If however Brion's new feature (<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bitfields_for_rev_deleted>) gets working, it would be feasible to do all deletions the same way, in which case those revisions would become accessible.
