So I saw http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&oldid=99049386 in my watchlist. Shows removed edit

Go into history and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&action=history it's removed

View logs http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...page=Talk:4chan

Likely personal information. I was curious why no logs. None on wikipedia. None on www.mediawiki.org or meta.mediawiki.org


http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...er:66.248.97.31 says blocked for personal information

But http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Oversight says Oversight has logs.

Apparently it no longer does.

Just wanted to drop by to tell you that oversight does have logs, but those logs are only available to other oversighters. Initially, MediaWiki software did not support oversight logs for anyone, but now, at least others with similar privileges can review the summary and location of deleted edits.

Of course, there is still the issue of accountability; it may be best to have trusted editors that can review logs but not perform any actions, but this doesn't seem socially feasible.

What about ArbCom members? No doubt some editors here have varying opinions about some of them, but surely nobody could object to them being able to see the logs.
