Description:
Dear friends,

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=&user=%D7%9C%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%99_%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%99%D7%A0%D7%94%D7%90%D7%A8%D7%98&page=&wpdate=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist shows about 35 entries.

What the url does *not show is that some 2,500 of my contributions have been deleted.

Enhancement request:

It should be possible to « identify » *all* « oldid's » a user has contributed.

Justification:

I think this in the spirit of the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License
where in the preamble you can read:
"this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others."

I assume that [[meta:]] is still a project under the
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GFDL license.

Best regards Reinhardt [[user:Gangleri]]

This 2007 ticket with no meaningful updates since seems to be very confused about what it is requesting. Why should deleted edits be included in Special:Log? Isn't there Special:DeletedContributions for that?

I think what Gangleri wanted is something like (using modern nomenclature) T208348. Even if I'm wrong this 2007 ask is best redone from scratch if still wanted.

(And the legal issues here are misplaced - Wikimedia is free to stop displaying some content if it wishes too, and in doing so it ceases to be bound by the license of the content is is no longer displaying)
