[Toolserver-l] About publishing lists of deleted edits

[Annabel]

Imho it is best if this option is not enabled.
The whole world does not need to know if someone created a lot of pages that are subject to copyrights or if someone is a vandal. This is a matter of privacy and privacy law is totally different in e.g. the US and Belgium. Therefore, I do not really like this option. It is not really necessary anymore, because sysops can now obtain a list of deleted contributions using the special page [[Special:DeletedContributions]]

Well, we should ask Interiot if he's figured out the legal problem. If not, VVV either knows the answer or is naive of the earlier takedown.

Hi all,
there was a feature to show deleted edits in Interiot's edits counter
but it was disabled "due to legal concerns ... until a lawyer can be
consulted" (as written in the counter page). Do these problems still

exist? Recently I've noticed another tool on Toolserver doing the same
thing:
 http://tools.wikimedia.de/~vvv/deletedcontribs.php?wiki=ruwiki_p&user=Edward+Chernenko


If that's not a problem, why not to allow reactivating this feature in
Interiot's editcount?
