Agreed. This is an absolute travesty.
Questionable. What deleted content wikipedia admins can hand over has
always been something of a grey area. Deleted stuff that the author
wants is fairly widely accepted to be okey but other areas left clear.
Admins using the ability to see deleted material out of curiosity
certianly happens a fair bit and not unknown for admins to comment in
a manner informed by the information. Dirrect copy any paste however
is unusual however it does happen. Saw it happen today in fact (okey
so that was a completely harmless issue related to so interface
stuff).
While I would oppose it that is mostly because it doesn't look right
rather than my being able to find an armored plated policy reason as
to why that is the case.
