Oh, and I need to query based on WHEN the page was deleted, not the date of the deleted revision, as the API does.  Is scrapping the Special:Log/delete page the only way?

The following: http://www.mywikidev.com/wiki/api.php?action=query&list=deletedrevs&… won't work because it's not sorted by date first and I would have to get the entire list of all pages ever deleted just to find out which ones were deleted recently.
