Seeing no reply here, I've now submitted https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/178527 to revert the API change and to update the UI message.

Hi list,
I wanted to get some feedback about https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T74222. In the last security release, I changed the return of the api to remove the "action" for log entries that had been revdeleted with "Hide action and target". However, ever since 2009 / r46917, we've assumed that "Hide action and target" didn't mean the actual action field in the db, but rather the target and the text of the message about the action, which might include other parameters. So the message about what's being hidden and the intended protection of that option could have slightly different interpretations.
I'd like to hear if anyone has intended for the actual log action to be deleted / suppressed. If not, I'm happy to revert the recent patch, and we'll just update the wording in the deletion UI to be more clear about what is being removed. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
