Forum:Unrestricted removal in Message Wall currently flawed

I'm not going to use Message Wall to discuss this, because anyone can remove any message and you have to dig through Recent Changes to find out and restore them.

According to Wikia this is supposed to match how old talk pages work, but there is a key difference: talk pages had individual revision history, Message Walls do not (so far). Also, once a post is removed it doesn't leave a marker or link to the removed thread, so you're forced to look in Recent Changes to find it has been removed. This doesn't appear to be the completely the case for replies (marker, but no thread history link), so it isn't all bad, but it's pretty bad.

These things need to be changed. Sifting through Recent Changes is already somewhat tiresome (I do it alot), but I don't want to have to be a detective about removed posts and replies in a big mass of message walls.

...and don't try to reply to this discussion on my message wall, because I'll remove it. Why? Because I can. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 27 Jan 2012 9:31 AM Pacific
