[Foundation-l] Delete of Article History and GFDL

[Joe Szilagyi]

Question. Didn't the practice of oversighting and deleting selective
versions previously cause prolems with misattributing who created the
adjacent contributions, by virtue of making the "removed" edits functionally
invisible? Is that still an issue? If so, wouldn't it be better for
oversight or deletion to still list the offensive edits visibly as
"existing", but completely unclickable save for those that have permissions
to view them? i.e... the final product would look like this:


Edit 10: Oversighter oversights Edit #4 (no clickable link
Edit 9: some user adds fine content: <clickable link for anyone>
Edit 8: some user adds fine content: <clickable link for anyone>
Edit 7, someone adds bad stuff again, but even worse now: <clickable link
for only Oversighters, shows just date/time stamp/contributor name or IP,
shows name of Oversighter as having blocked this edit>
Edit 6: some user adds fine content: <clickable link for anyone>
Edit 5: some user adds fine content: <clickable link for anyone>
Edit 4, admin deletes page, restores with out Edit #2 <clickable link for
anyone>
Edit 3: some user adds fine content: <clickable link for anyone>
Edit 2, someone adds defamation or whatever "bad" content, <clickable link
for only admins, shows just date/time stamp/contributor name or IP, shows
name of admin that last deleted this>
Edit 1, new page: <clickable link for anyone>
