This is not proactive. Giving more power to the admins

constitutional change. Usually a constitutional change requires a
referendum beforehand (An amendment to the United States Constitution
must be ratified by 3/4 of the state legislatures, WP says). You don't
simply switch to the new constitution and tell the people who are
unhappy with the new constitution that it is their burden to
demonstrate that the older constitution was better. And when a
constitutional change changes a democracy into a dictatorship without
the freedom of speech, it is too late to express yourself after you
have lost the freedom of speech.
RevDel replaced Oversight (a extension), and
little changed overall
between then, it features two deletion levels, one that hides it from
standard users (admins and higher still have access to it) and one
that hides it from everyone except oversight which leaves no visible
apart from oversighters. To everyone else the only real difference is
that the logs show a difference of "X changed viability of Y" and only
had to touch the appropriate revisions compared to the older extension
of oversight, where you had to delete a whole page then restore all
the revisions apart from the ones you don't want.
Is there something wrong with this on the french wikipedia? then you
should submit a bug request so people actually know and can work on
getting it set correctly
