In addition to bug 29138: Allow listing of deleted files by sysop, to find all files deleted by a sysop. Thanks. tracking to bug 22744, maybe someone has time to look at the indices.
Log type by user is allready possibile. For example, Deleted items by any sysop on commons: * http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=delete or for one particular sysop: * http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=delete&user=Krinkle What you want is an additional filter/dropdown menu for namespace (to only see deleted *files*). That is already requested as bug 14711 (Implement namespace filter for logging information) As such, marking as duplicate of that. Please re-open if you meant something else. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 14711 ***
There is a different between a list of all pages deleted in the file namespace and a list of all deleted files. The log is a continuous writen database, so that does not handle restoring of files. And you have to do a second query to get more information about the images, because list=logevents cannot used as a generator. See bug 27202 for a similar discussion over using the logging table or the image table.
(updating summary to clarify it's to sort by the deleting user)
