Just because DannyB says something... ;)

Not only, I subscribe to this four paws. History and Edit has been implemented already and this should be as well, it has even more sense than Special:Edit which should be page parameter (&action=edit) not separate page.

I have no idea what this means. Can you please clarify?
Comment 5 MZMcBride 2014-01-06 01:02:02 UTC
Ah, I remember bug 11456 now. My comment at bug 11456 comment 13 is still very relevant.

Change 105629 abandoned by Jackmcbarn:
Add Special:Purge

Reason:
A modified version of I612df6e33c74527c9a3a0af5a6c66cd977dc7344 is preferable to this solution.

I don't think this is a good idea. We generally do not want people linking to ?action=purge. That's the reason why we have a click-through for anons, to discourage people from mass linking to it.

Purge is a hack (cf. bug 54902).

I'm not sure this is a valid enhancement request.

> Purge is a hack (cf. bug 54902).

This. bug 54902 comment 4 by Brion sums it up pretty well I think. We shouldn't be further exposing the purge feature to users IMO.
