Description Gurch 2010-03-30 15:00:29 UTC 
The API currently does not allow revision deletion.

While it is not enabled by default, revision deletion is a core feature, it replaces a more awkward method that is possible with the existing API, and there seems to be an intention to use it on Wikimedia wikis. It is thus probably worth supporting at some point.

bug 23332 isn't a blocker for this, but a nice prerequisite
Comment 2 Alex Monk 2013-03-12 20:26:29 UTC 
Do we want:

api.php?action=revisiondelete&ids=1|2&token=123ABC&reason=Example&hidetext=Yes&hidesummary=Yes&hideusername=No&suppress=

Or:

api.php?action=revisiondelete&ids=1|2&token=123ABC&reason=Example&hide=text|summary&unhide=username&suppress=

?

I think the second one looks cleaner, but it really doesn't matter.

Since nothing has happened with this for a few months, I took a shot at it.

This should be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.23wmf13, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.23/Roadmap for the schedule.
