Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Recreate deleted page
Initial Comment: I searched and found closed and open bugs on recreating deleted pages, but I think I can put it differently than others:
I *want* to use pagefromfile to upload a large amount of text that a user upload badly by hand. Those pages have been deleted and would be much better created en masse by the bot. I understand why most people would not want their bots creating previously deleted pages, but it should be an option. Even if I had to hit "Y" every time like I do with deletes, it should be possible.
I tried removing the pertaining objections in wikipedia.py, but the layout on editing a previously deleted page is too different.
This should be an easy error to recreate.
