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).

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. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

What the heck are we paying you for, anyway? ;) I would suggest an auto-expiration of IP blocks at one week. This will most likely be long enough to discourage people from repeat vandalism without unduly affecting those poor souls who share dynamic IPs with vandals. On another note, could someone (sorry Brion) please make it easier to IP block? Unless I'm missing something obvious, as it stands right now I have to muck through the Recent Changes until I find an edit by a given IP before I can block them. It would be extraordinarily useful to have a Special:Block_this_IP page where one could manually enter in an IP to have it blocked. At the very least, an option to block could be a link on an IP-users contribution page or something. ----- Dante Alighieri dalighieri(a)digitalgrapefruit.com "The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of great moral crisis." -Dante Alighieri, 1265-1321 _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

So far one compliment vs one complaint. About usual. :)

From: Erik Moeller I do not see the information that deleted revisions exist as so useful as to have it on all pages, primarily because there's simply a fairly large number of pages which

been experimentally created at one point, deleted, and recreated. How about displaying it in the top bar only for non-existing pages,

otherwise displaying it only on "Page history"? This should also

the number of checks in the ARCHIVE table needed.

we just install stuff on the live server like this. ;) (Disclaimer: not recommended except for bug fixes and 'emergency features' that everyone's bitching about the lack of and require only very small code changes.)
