I think there's someone even working on that). Otherwise I see no technical reason to just use the permission system for people who want this sort of thing. > from a technical standpoint, other than that to hide all the revisions from > view would require ticking a bunch of checkboxes for a RevisionDelete, rather > than just hitting a delete button. I don't really follow. Revision deletion and normal deletion are totally separate (which is super confusing. Particularly for images). Giving people revision deletion ability is entirely separate from giving them normal deletion ability. You could give everybody both rights, neither rights or one of those two rights. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
