I think that RevDel would be invaluable for us. It can be tedious otherwise deleting incredibly offensive edits and/or edit summaries.

Suppose a page is vandalized and it is such grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material that it cannot be solved by a mere rollback/undo. So, we delete the page entirely and restore it without those edits. Now, suppose it happens again a few weeks/months down the road. When we repeat the process for the new edits, we have to remember not to inadvertently restore the ones we got rid of all those weeks/months ago while deleting the new ones, which requires the tedious and time-consuming task of making sure to make a side-list of the previous deletions to ensure that we do not tick their boxes when restoring the page.

RevDel obviates this concern.

With the greatest of respect for Ryan, it’s easy for a RuneScaper to discount features like CheckUser/RevDel since his is one of the few wikis on which some Administrators have been granted those user rights. Would that the rest of us could make such a request …

Thanks!
