Description John Mark Vandenberg 2009-08-17 13:46:57 UTC
Suppressed edits which are not deleted display the message [[MediaWiki:Rev-deleted-unhide-diff]]:

"One of the revisions of this diff has been deleted. There may be details in the deletion log.
As an administrator you can still view this diff if you wish to proceed."

e.g.

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nakon&diff=308209837&oldid=307073985

However if the revision has been deleted, there are two problems:

1. the log has a (diff) link which does not work:

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&offset=200906161852&limit=5&type=suppress

2. the special:undelete page has a (diff) link which does work, however it display neither the diff nor [[MediaWiki:Rev-deleted-unhide-diff]], and adding &unhide=1 does not work.

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&offset=20090403232052&limit=3&type=suppress

However I have also noticed that it does show a _broken_ diff here:

John Mark, is this still reproducible?  Thanks!

John Mark, is this still reproducible?
Comment 3 This, that and the other (TTO) 2014-02-11 00:49:08 UTC
It's difficult to analyse the links provided, as few users have oversight rights on enwiki. If a test case could be set up on testwiki, it would be easier to understand the issue.

Updating based on current URLs:

This is the diff in question:  https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nakon&diff=308209837&oldid=307073985

It is clearly suppressed.  When clicking on the "del/undel" button, I am taken to the page that confirms it is suppressed. However, there is no entry in the suppression log, either on the delete/undelete page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RevisionDelete&type=revision&target=User_talk%3ANakon%2Farc6&ids=308209837 ) or when looking at Special:Log for suppression for the date 15 August 2009 at 23:41.  It is also not listed as being deleted on the Delete/undelete revisions page, or on the Special:Log for deletion for the date 15 August 2009 at 23:41.  The edit appears in the page history, and as an oversighter I can view the diff involved.  Given the nature of the reason for suppression, I'm hesitant to play around with trying to unsuppress and resuppress.
