I'd like to remind administrators of my work-around
for this.
To view the deleted page [[xxx]], just go this URL:
<http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special%3AUndelete&target=xxx>
(or the equivalent on whatever language's wiki is
involved).
Note that going here does *not* undelete the page;
it only views it!
You'll need to push an extra button to actually
undelete anything.
But it does skip the long list at
[[Special:Undelete]] itself,
and I use it often (mostly when combining histories)
with no problems.
This is, of course, a temporary work-around.
A more user-friendly software solution would still
be good.

That is great ! Just needs to be seeable by anyone.
The sysop status could be just necessary to hit the button
