I am an administrator in the English Wikipedia. It would be useful if these could be made possible:-
- When deleting some edits in a page, to directly select them and
delete them, instead of having to delete everything and then undelete the rest.
We have rev_deleted feature implemented, but it is not reviewed yet.
- To move deleted edits. For example, earlier today I had to histmerge
[[WRYV]] into [[WXBW]]; they were about a radio station which changed its callsign. But under the visible edits of [[WXBW]] there were speedy-deleted edits about a small wrestling club called Wantagh Xtreme Backyard Wrestling, and I had to get that irrelevantia out of the way before I started the primary job. So I had to get the visible edits out of the way to leave [[WXBW]] clear to undelete the wrestling edits; then move them to [[Wantagh Xtreme Backyard Wrestling]], and then re-delete them. In this case the wanted edits were all earlier than all the wanted edits, and I needed to temporarily delete the wanted edits anyway to move page [[WRYV]] in over them to histmerge. Sometimes it is more complicated, and I must temporarily rename the wanted edits to extract the junk edits from under them. It would have been easier if I could move deleted edits while leaving them deleted
For history merge, we already have Special:MergeHistory implemented, but not reviewed yet :( --vvv
