At most a mere list of previous revisions, so as to see
who wrote them.
I think that this would be an improvement.
It's really up to Anthère to say what she's looking for, however;
my interest is in her happiness (and that of users like her),
since I can see this stuff anyway on the only wiki that I participate in much.
The text of deleted pages will remain hidden to
non-sysops, for a variety
of reasons which have been discussed ad nauseum.
I know that it came up before, but I only remember the copyright problems.
I think that there were more ... but I can't find it on the archives!
(Has anybody written a search engine for them yet? -- besides Google?)
Do you remember when this came up before?
As for copyright infringements in article histories,
this may be a reason
to have a "delete this revision" function.
Yes, I think that this would be a good idea --
*if* we are in any danger from these infringements
(either legally or nonlegally).
Remember that <robots.txt> hides them from (most) spiders.
