A revision that the user cannot access (redaction or suppression) has a non-working diff link in page history/contribs. The problem is there's no way they can paste the link to it for oversighter or arbcom attention either, if it's needed. A user should be able to get a link for a revision (right click/copy link) to pass on to other admins or oversighters, or if needed as evidence in disputes, even if they cannot see the contents of that revision. Security consideration: A user who was given such a link by a friend would still not be able to view the revdeleted material unless their account had suitable rights. So making the diff link available (cur | prev) is not a security issue. Request: That the (cur | prev) links provide valid links even if the user does not have access to see the underlying material.
See also bug 23730. These links are already provided to sysops (and from histories they don't have &unhide=1), so they should be simply enabled for everyone.
