Alternatively the closest thing is to copy and
paste the
list of difs into a dif on the article noting that in the edit

has that there and then removing the list on the next dif (we've done this
before and somone I don't remember who commented that this was probably ok).
Honestly, I don't understand what that means.
Ok, say article X needs the first five edits of an article deleted for privacy
concerns. Admin Y deletes those edits, and makes an edit to the article with
the edit summary of something like "Look at this dif for list of authors who
had edits deleted" and in that edit append to the bottom a list of editors.
Then Y makes another edit to remove the list from the page.
That'd probably work, although the oversighters often like to deny
that something was even oversighted in the first place. If oversight
just deleted the text and the summary, and left the rest of the
information, that'd also accomplish this.
A different, probably more acceptable variation is
what was done at

Well, yeah, that's pretty much what I was suggesting all along.
