Makes me want to code up a new user permission

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.
