Description FT2 2009-05-18 19:31:21 UTC 
[[w:Special:Undelete/User:DingmanDelaware]] has the text of 2 edits removed using RevDeleted (defamation) with "Suppress data from administrators" selected. 


1/ The way the revisions are listed under "Page History" is misleading or confusing for oversighters:
       "(del/undel) (diff) <s>TIMESTAMP</s> . . USER"
   since it would look the same whether or not admins could view the material.

2/ The revision and diff are headed by a note ("This page revision has been removed from the public archives. As an administrator you can view it..."). The note suggests access is available to any admin.


The problem in both cases is an oversighter can't be quickly sure if the revision is visible to admins or suppressed (it would look the same whether or not administrators could view it).

Oversighted items should have a bold '(del/undel)' link.
