There is a "delete this page" function in the PHP wikipedia, for
"privileged" users only. As I anticipate this to be a problem for some
"normal" users, as demonstrated here, I added an automatic log page to that
function ([[Log:Page Deletions]]). Every permanent page deletion via that
function will be recorder there, with date and user name, and will show on
the "Recent Changes" page.
I demonstrated it at
http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/fpw/wiki.phtml?title=special:RecentChanges
with the old "Feature Requests" page, for those who'd like an example.
The log page cannot be edited by *anyone* via the web interface. Of course,
I cannot prevent the direct edit of the database.
