Currently all entries made with revision deletion will end up somewhere in the deletion log. There, they're hardly findable and also, it's not the same as a deletion. When you delete something, it's gone. Revision deletion only removes some stuff that isn't good. The usage for it is completely different and different policies to its usage apply. Thus, revision deletion should have its own log where all revision deletions are logged, so that one can easier check the recent revision deletions, check for potential abuse with the revision deletion interface and so on.

There are two ways to address this: - Allow more fine-grained filtering of the log (so deletions, for example, would be split into page deletion, page restoration and revision visibility changes). This is bug 18954 - Change the log type of revision deletions to be different from that of page deletions, and run a script to update the log type of old revision deletions. I would prefer the second option.
