Board Thread:Support Requests - Getting Technical/@comment-14250-20130603033249

Currently Special:Log/delete shows both "deleted" messages AND "restored" messages.

I am wondering if we could please split this feature with a Special:Log/restore (put a "Restore log" in the dropdown menu right above "Upload log") so that we can only see reports of when files get restored, as opposed to when they are deleted.

This is valuable because on some wikis, admins will do a lot of various deleting of spam, whereas restoration is a rarer event, and may occur when admins override each other's decisions.

If this is possible now I'd like to know, but I can't figure it out. If it's not yet a feature I would like to suggest it.

Also related is my previous thread: Thread:520304 which is about allowing an omit function.

Currently we can only shape results by "show edits only by user" but we should have a "show edits excluding user(s)" type function so that we can see outliers beyond the contributions of major and trusted editors.

For example if there is a trusted bureaucrat who does a lot of deleting, we don't want to see their deletion logs, instead we want to see the deletion logs of newbie sysops/admins who might be more apt to delete something important.
