[Toolserver-announce] Please respect the rev_deleted-field

[DaB.]

Hello all,

I was noticed today by a steward that one tool (I will message the author 
separately) does not respect the rev_deleted-field and displays revisions, 
which are already deleted, to the world.

Our rules forbids displaying of data which is not visible on the Wikimedia-
wikis any more. I know that the usage of the rev_delete-field by mediaiwiki is 
quite new (the mediawiki-devs didn't update their documentation until now 
AFAIS), so please look at your tools. If you use the revision-table and do 
showing single edits, then add a "AND rev_delete=0" to the where-clause where 
needed (it's of corse ok to ignore the field if you just display abstract data 
like "How many edits have a wiki").

Please always remember: Just because you can see the data in the database, 
that is no allowance to show it to the world (if in doubt: ask a root).

Sincerly,
DaB.
