Description tsor 2005-09-16 13:39:34 UTC

If an administrator deletes an article with versions he gets a hint: "Be 
carful, there are versions".

In many cases it would be helpful if he gets the infomation HOW MANY versions 
exist.

Example:

A user creates a nonsense article with contents "aabbccdd". Another user edits 
this article to vote for deletion. Now this article has 2 versions.

If I want to delete this article and I get the info "2 versions", I can hit 
the "ok-button". If there are more than 2 versions I must look into the history 
because a previous version may have excellent contents.

Without the info about the number of versions I always must chck the history.

Comment 1 Rowan Collins [IMSoP] 2005-09-16 19:01:40 UTC

One problem with this from a technical point of view would be the database load
required to count all the edits an article has had if there are many. Perhaps it
could be "2", "3", "more than 3" or similar...

[PS: Please try to summarise the bug/request in the "summary" field, not just
the activity it relates to]

Comment 2 tsor 2005-09-16 20:46:52 UTC

Ok, to reduce the database load it would be sufficient to tell me if 
there are more than 2 versions or not.

Fixed in r58087 by adding the count in MediaWiki:Historywarning.
