Admin on nl.wp gets "You don't have the right to view a deleted page" after deleting a JS page
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

I deleted this page: https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gebruiker%3ARots61%2Fcommon.js&type=revision&diff=53237012&oldid=53237006 and wanted to double check something. Normally I would click on 'restore/view deleted versions', ( https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speciaal:Terugplaatsen&target=Gebruiker%3ARots61%2Fcommon.js ) but that gives me an error in this case: You don't have the right to view a deleted page, because this action is limited to admins, arbcom members and checkusers.
However... I am an admin (I just deleted the page!). Either the error message is off, or my rights are :)
(no action is required on giving me access to the page, I'm just reporting the error)

The message you saw was incorrect and includes some groups that shouldn't be there; tracked in T203083. Even though you have the right to delete the page; once you do that you are not eligible to restore it unless you've editusercss/jss right which is normally not in sysop group.
