Description FT2 2009-05-11 19:35:15 UTC
If a revision did not have an edit summary, then the word "[deleted]" can be placed exactly where the edit summary would normally go. It therefore appears to be showing an edit summary was deleted, whereas in fact no edit summary ever existed.

Example: <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RevisionDelete&oldid=284084867> (visible to oversighters only)


To reproduce - create a revision with blank edit summary, then RevDelete it using "Delete revision text" as the only selected option. The result looks like this:

(diff) <s>date</s> username [deleted]

The [deleted] text should have a CSS class distinct enough from the edit summary.
Comment 2 Happy-melon 2009-05-15 09:45:40 UTC
Do we even need the "[deleted]"??  Isn't the fact that the timestamp no longer links to the revision, but is greyed out and struck through, informative enough?
