Description Nathan Larson 2014-08-04 22:01:02 UTC

This is basically a hybrid of revision deletion and the "new field" page deletion alternative; see [[mw:Requests for comment/Page_deletion#page_deleted_field]].

In this system, if you delete all the revisions in a page, then page.page_deleted is set to "1". The page is then treated by MediaWiki as a deleted page (wikilinks turn red, etc.). The archive table is deprecated.

It would probably be easiest to enable it by a configuration setting that people could turn on or off, although another possibility would be to create a bunch of hooks and let an extension do the rest.

Comment 1 Nathan Larson 2014-08-04 22:16:32 UTC

This should be secure by default, right, compared to the "new field" option without revision deletion?
