When a translation administrator tries to delete a page, the form features a reason field, however those deletion reasons are not shown neither on the deletion log nor the page translation log, thus making it difficult to know why a page has been deleted. It'd be good if those reasons provided be visible on the deletion log and page translation log. Thanks.

Hi Nike. Just the reason provided by the user is missing. See here for further details. Thanks.

I clarified the summary because as far as I can tell the pagetranslation log does show the reason.
Update: sorry, not true; my eyes crossed. There is indeed no log_comment in logs.
MariaDB [metawiki_p]> select distinct(log_comment) from logging where log_type = 'pagetranslation' and log_action LIKE 'delete%'; +-------------+ | log_comment | +-------------+ | | +-------------+ 1 row in set (0.14 sec)

Change 282395 had a related patch set uploaded (by Glaisher):
Add reason to deletion log entries
Comment Actions
The patch is proposing to add it to all (potentially) hundreds of deletes instead of the page translation log only. That sounds a bit excessive to me. Anyone having thoughts on this?

What sounds excessive to you, precisely? You'd like to save characters on [[Special:Log/delete]]?

The log will have a log summary anyway, the more informative it is the better. I've not heard of drawbacks so far.
