Makes me want to code up a new user permission bit to let people look at deleted edits without having to get full admin rights, in my nonexistent spare time...
And how would it be decided which ordinary mortals get the bit?. A pox on your propeller beanie if you say "edit count". :)
That would be a policy question, up for normal consensus determination...
My opinion on the topic would be anyone who has been around for a month and wants it, and who doesn't turn out to cause problems with it. "We took the material down and restricted access to staff, administrators, and a small set of other known users...". As long as we restrict access "enough" to deleted info then liability concerns don't really care if a few of the people who can see it aren't wikipedia "Administrators". If it is truly more sensitive than that then it should be oversighted.
