Community Wishlist Survey 2023/New contributors/New users should see the deletion log when visiting a deleted page on English Wikipedia/Proposal
Appearance
- Problem: On English Wikipedia, where we use ArticleCreationWorkflow, new users looking for a topic that has been deleted are not alerted to that fact. The issue is that the extension relocates the user to the new article landing page, so MediaWiki does not show the deletion log as usual because the user is actually viewing a different page.
- Proposed solution: Change ArticleCreationWorkflow to show the deletion log.
- Who would benefit: Users would know that a page had previously existed and why it was deleted. This could also save the need for admin cleanup after duplicates are created.
