Hi,
I am trying to fetch the deleted revisions of a page using API https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Deletedrevisions, but meet an error saying that "You don't have the permission to view a page's deleted history". I wonder if it is caused by my inappropriate operation, or just the feature has been blocked by Wikipedia? Thank you!
You generally need admin permissions to view that stuff. It's not an API-specific limitation.

Got it. Yes, I see discussion pages regarding the voting on the permission, but don't see it on the API page, so want to confirm it. Thanks!
