To the same extent that a non-fatal runway incursion indicates good
traffic control (read: minimally).

While I agree that this should be true, I don't see any policy page
supporting it, and I doubt it would work in practice as checking the
edit history before deleting is less common than you'd think.

I can't seem to find a {{NUMBEROFREVISIONS}} variable but if something
like that does exist we might consider making the font-size of the
"check edit history" links scale according to this. :-)

The current size is reduced by a <small> tag (inside a pink box which
is already barely legible).

Well, if that were true we wouldn't need to have more pages explaining
how to "administrate" than ones explaining how to "edit". :-)
