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