A spot check of https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=&subtype=restore&tagfilter=&type=delete&user=&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist&wpdate=&offset=&limit=500 shows many instances of files being undeleted, both alone and with text, by both me and other admins, and being properly logged.
Change #1107078 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/core@master] Undeletion: Don't display a bogus error message in a corner case
Change #1107074 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/core@master] Fix some edge cases in undelete UI
I accidentally fixed this while updating various error message styles in rMWbc8d6d0d2706: Modernize status and error message handling.
I don't think this would be very beneficial, and I wouldn't want to have to maintain two versions of the deletion interface.
Change #1107069 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/core@master] Use latest revision not viewed revision in delete link
To the other, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BDLibrary2.JPG looks odd to me (i.e. not like I would expect a deleted object to look like), but the underlying object appears correctly deleted to me (I did swift stat wikipedia-commons-local-public.a7 a/a7/BDLibrary2.JPG in both clusters and both say 404)
What exactly is the error message when trying to undelete BDschool1.JPG? I tried to find it in the backend storage, but it seems absent from both DCs, which is what I would expect for a correctly-deleted object (I did swift stat wikipedia-commons-local-public.04 0/04/BDschool1.JPG)
