Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

Wikimedia has migrated from Bugzilla to Phabricator. Bug reports should be created and updated in Wikimedia Phabricator instead. Please create an account in Phabricator and add your Bugzilla email address to it.
Wikimedia Bugzilla is read-only. If you try to edit or create any bug report in Bugzilla you will be shown an intentional error message.
In order to access the Phabricator task corresponding to a Bugzilla report, just remove "static-" from its URL.
You could still run searches in Bugzilla or access your list of votes but bug reports will obviously not be up-to-date in Bugzilla.

If an article is long, its deletion reason will be blank by default.

How about:

content began: '[30 characters or so]...' (583 bytes) (and the only contributor...)

Obviously configurable through the MediaWiki: namespace

Not really that useful. Saying "content was 'I am a gay homo' and only
contributor..." is much stronger than some word/byte count. If it is not an
obviously very short vandal page, saying it is "short" or how many bytes is has
is not very useful, as you will still need to look it over.

Bug 9656 is the straightforward way of doing this, and that's now fixed on 
trunk.
