hello For my bot I need to get the full history of deleted article. I noticed that http://XX.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=deletedrevs&titles=[Article Name] doesn't return oversight version even with the sysop rights. Is it a bug ? regards
No, it's not a bug. Oversight revisions are hidden from public view, even from sysops and oversighters. The revision data is no longer in the revision database but in a seperate database. See also http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Oversight
