[Mediawiki-l] Are old versions kept indefinitely

[Rob Church]

You can mark specific revisions as deleted, and delete entire pages,
but a wiki engine is designed to keep old versions available in order
to allow them to be restored; whether this is undeleting entire pages,
or revisions, or merely rolling back/reverting to an older version of
a page, for whatever reason.
