Hello all,
I was noticed today by a steward that one tool (I will message the author separately) does not respect the rev_deleted-field and displays revisions, which are already deleted, to the world.
Our rules forbids displaying of data which is not visible on the Wikimedia- wikis any more. I know that the usage of the rev_delete-field by mediaiwiki is quite new (the mediawiki-devs didn't update their documentation until now AFAIS), so please look at your tools. If you use the revision-table and do showing single edits, then add a "AND rev_delete=0" to the where-clause where needed (it's of corse ok to ignore the field if you just display abstract data like "How many edits have a wiki").
Please always remember: Just because you can see the data in the database, that is no allowance to show it to the world (if in doubt: ask a root).
Sincerly, DaB.
