On ro.wp, we empty the summary when the reason is "Obscene content" and leave it otherwise. For me, it used to be useful as a quick check on admins. However, now that many deletions are made through Twinkle and the Infoboxes are ubiquitous (taking up from the displayed text), this is less useful.

Hallo!
There's an old MediaWiki feature: When an administrator deletes a page, a bit of its content is automatically added to an edit summary. This is later viewable in deletion logs.
If you edit in the English, German, or Italian Wikipedia, then you haven't actually seen this feature in years, because administrators in these wikis essentially removed it by locally blanking the system messages that make it work.
In many other wikis, however, this feature is still working.
Is it actually useful? Or should it perhaps be removed?
Here's a Phabricator task about it: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T299351
If you have an opinion, weigh in there or here.
Thanks!
