Hi all,
I don't know whether this is the correct mailing list to ask such question but it is the one I am reading regularly…
Does anyone know about the adequate procedure to get permission to request deleted revision information from the MediaWiki API?
I just stumbled over this problem...
{ "servedby": "mw1140", "error": { "code": "drpermissiondenied", "info": "You don't have permission to view deleted revision information" } }
Many thanks.
Best, Claudia

For a personal wiki, this means you need the 'deletedhistory' and 'deletedtext' permissions (which is by default assigned to the admin group).
On WMF wikis, this requires being an administrator (although I think there's some exception for researchers handed out via Meta).

The researcher group has this right, too. Maybe this is an option for us.
I'm not sure about the procedure and requirements to become a member of this group, so I copied Dario Taraborelli in this mail.

Hi Chad,
Thank you very much for your information. Your reply came so fast that I somehow missed it. Sorry.
Since this question occurred within a research project I will try to apply for researcher access.
