Even thought revision deletion has been available through API for a long time (see API:Revisiondelete which has been available since MW 1.23, circa 2014) it is still not supported in pywikibot. Support should be added for it.

@Xqt I ran into a problem with unit testing this for files. For page revisions, it is straightforward and the unit test I added already does the job. But for files, action=query&prop=revisions does not reflect changes to the file history. For instance when I revdel'ed the user for the oldest version of https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:T276726.png and checked https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&prop=revisions&titles=File%3AT276726.png&rvlimit=15 it return info on the page revisions not the file revisions:
{
"batchcomplete": "",
"query": {
"pages": {
"119241": {
"pageid": 119241,
"ns": 6,
"title": "File:T276726.png",
"revisions": [
{
"revid": 469155,
"parentid": 469154,
"user": "Huji",

}
]
}
}
}
}Trying action=query&prop=deletedrevisions was not helpful either (again, that is about revisions that are completed deleted from the history using the old-fashioned "delete" feature, not the revisiondelete feature. As hard as I looked, I could not find an API query property that would show the file history. Do you know of one?

Actually never mind, prop=imageinfo does it. For example: https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&prop=imageinfo&titles=File%3AT276726.png&iilimit=15
