[WikiEN-l] Undeletion: new ability and policy on its use

[Charles Podles]

When undeleting pages, sysops now have to ability to restore selected
revisions rather than the full deleted history. I have posted some
questions about the use of this feature to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Undeletion_policy and
would appreciate comments there. The feature seems useful but has
potential for abuse; a policy discussion is needed.

I have also added an explanation of what I figured out by testing the
feature to [[Wikipedia:Viewing and restoring deleted pages by sysops]]
( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Viewing_and_restoring_deleted_pages_by_sysops&diff=8781571&oldid=8754475
); I would be grateful if the technical team would make sure I've
explained it properly.
