Description Liangent 2010-06-25 14:21:25 UTC 
Oversight means the action of RevisionDelete and making it invisible even to sysops.

Users get confused when they found deleted revisions in history page but no deletion log in log page. Most of them cannot figure out that it's oversight.
Comment 1 Aaron Schulz 2010-06-26 01:15:08 UTC 
"Make oversighted revisions invisible in history": this would create the same diff problems that we want to avoid.

"make oversight log visible in Special:Log"
The Oversight ext. had a public log...which was specifically removed due to dump harvesting.
Comment 2 Liangent 2010-06-26 02:02:06 UTC 
What about using a different mark for oversighted versions in history?

That's what I was thinking.

Users can harvest history pages, cannot they?
Comment 5 John Mark Vandenberg 2010-07-09 00:13:17 UTC 
Oversight-RevisionDelete entries should not be publicly logged.

This is a duplicate of bug 21272.

And this looks like a WONTFIX.
