Originally, the Special:Undelete front page listed every page in the
deleted page archive. Pretty quickly that became _too big_ to list for
Wikipedia, and we hackily disabled it, with a pointer to the deletion log.
But the original code stayed, and a default MediaWiki still tries to
show everything. That's potentially a lot... especially after an upgrade
to 1.9 which deletes a thousand-plus MediaWiki:foo pages!
In my ongoing effort to merge or otherwise rid all our live code hacks,
I've patched up Special:Undelete a bit.
Instead of the full list or the hacked-in hardcoded message, the pointer
to the deletion log is now localizable/customizable. Additionally,
there's a search field: type in a page title or title prefix, and it'll
list out (up to 100) matching titles.
It's a simple prefix match, but should still be pretty handy.
This change is live as of some minutes ago.
