'''Revision deletion''' is a feature of the MediaWiki software allowing [[Test Wiki:Administrators|administrators]] to hide a revision from non-administrators, and place it behind an interstitial for any administrators who wish to check the revision. [[Test Wiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can also do the same for entries in [[Special:Log|the log]]. |
