Brion, could not it be possible that at least all those with oversight actually *see* the deleted revisions ?
I understood this was a temp hack. Would it be possible to make hidden version visible to oversight people ?
I think a straw poll would've being better to see if this should exist.
No. The idea is that we trust the oversight people enough that if something sensitive needs deleting, they can delete it; we don't trust them enough to see what the other people with the ability have been deleting. The seperation of knowledge is a Good Thing. Anyway, hasn't anyone ever told you that Polls are Evil? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Polls_are_evil
Also, there should be a Request for Oversight Privelages page.
Sure. How about we make a "request for permission to degauss the servers" page while we're at it?
