From: Erik Moeller I do not see the information that deleted revisions exist as so useful as to have it on all pages, primarily because there's simply a fairly large number of pages which have been experimentally created at one point, deleted, and recreated. How about displaying it in the top bar only for non-existing pages, and otherwise displaying it only on "Page history"? This should also reduce the number of checks in the ARCHIVE table needed.
That's a good idea.
Done, checked in, and installed.
Well, that was fun! We get a lot more feedback when we just install stuff on the live server like this. ;)
(Disclaimer: not recommended except for bug fixes and 'emergency features' that everyone's bitching about the lack of and require only very small code changes.)
