I was referring to the message appearing on the action=delete page, not the actual logs. Logging two deletions with two log entries is totally okay and actually better (logs are connected to page titles, so if there was only one log message, either the talk page or the content page didn’t have a log message, which would be very confusing).

Thanks for clarifying. Miss-understood what you said

Change 822751 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dmaza; author: Dmaza):

[mediawiki/core@master] DeleteAction: Improve messaging on successful page deletion

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/822751

Noting that deleting a file is a separate process and it currently does not show any messaging when the talk page is also deleted. This patch doesn't change how File Deletion or Undeletion show their messaging on success.

I have tested a few different cases on beta.

"Large" refers to pages with over 1000 revisions. There is a different message when deleting small vs. large pages. For the former we use the deletedtext message. For the latter we use delete-scheduled.

We only unify when both content and talk page are small.

We don't unify message when deleting files or when restoring/undeleting pages.

@NRodriguez @dmaza What is the scope of this ticket we want? Should I raise additional bugs on unifying the message for deleting large pages, files and restoring?

Case	Message	Example
Both content and talk page small	deleted-page-and-talkpage
Content small, talk page large	deletedtext (for the content page) and delete-scheduled (for the talk page)
Content large, talk page small	deletedtext (for the talk page) and delete-scheduled (for the content page)
Both content and talk page large	delete-scheduled and delete-scheduled
Restoring content and talk page	Message only for content page
Deleting file content and talk page	Message only for content page

Note, enwiki beta has a custom message for deletedtext, hence why it looks different in the screenshots above. Users can also define a custom message on wiki for the newly created deleted-page-and-talkpage message (by editing https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Deleted-page-and-talkpage).
