Description

Author: FT2.wiki

Description:
If a revision did not have an edit summary, then the word "[deleted]" can be placed exactly where the edit summary would normally go. It therefore appears to be showing an edit summary was deleted, whereas in fact no edit summary ever existed.

Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RevisionDelete&oldid=284084867 (visible to oversighters only)

To reproduce - create a revision with blank edit summary, then RevDelete it using "Delete revision text" as the only selected option. The result looks like this:

(diff) <s>date</s> username [deleted]

Version: unspecified
Severity: minor

The [deleted] text should have a CSS class distinct enough from the edit summary.

Do we even need the "[deleted]"?? Isn't the fact that the timestamp no longer links to the revision, but is greyed out and struck through, informative enough?
