Improvements in management of the deleted files. Right now, it's *very* difficult to find a file which has been erased, then to check it to estimate whether it should be restored or not. It would be great if this page could at least be sorted out by date of deletion, author of deletion, name space and alphabetical order. Does anybody else have trouble with this log ?
Okay, the noise of comment hurt my ears, so, I'll do it another time
Here's our deletion log http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%E9dia:Deletion_log
About maybe 100 pages were deleted in the past four days.
I think (though we of course all trust one another), an *error* is always possible.
Especially when the page "votes for deletion" is not used at all, so any sysop basically delete those pages he wants to delete, whenever he decides to (yup, me too, in rome, do as the romans).
We assume *peer pressure* when creating/editing articles. Peers being given the same tool than the editors.
Right now, we have *very* little tool to do *checking* of our fellows sysop in terms of deletion (you know *sample checking*...)
It takes about 15 seconds to delete an article, about 5 mn to find it (when we find it) in the page for deleted articles.
Look at that huge deletion log !!!!!!!
Ok, if nobody wants to help me on that, could someone just tell me...a sort of sql query...which would allow me to get a list of the last deletions, with direct access to the article in the bin (something like the deletion log but with access to the deleted articles)
--------
Or imagine the worse, a sysop gets mad and start deleting articles very unwisely. Gonna be a mess to recover everything quickly....
