Brion-
I've added a more convenient link into the undeletion system, which will show in bold at the top of the page when viewing a page which has been deleted (if you're a sysop).
I'm not sure what the point of this is.
To make it actually possible for human beings to get into the undeletion system?
Naw, screw humans. They just make trouble for the machine collective! :)
Now I get lots of annoying messages on pages that have at some point been created as an experiment and later been re-created as a real page.
So far one compliment vs one complaint. About usual. :)
If we had a decent deletion log table, it would be a trivial matter to only display the bold notice for recently deleted pages, and for the rest just have a boring note down at the bottom and/or an "Undelete" link in the sidebar.
We don't yet have a deletion/sysop event log table. If you'd like to whip one up before I get to it, it would happen sooner rather than later.
