Superfluous revision deletion links present in log entries

Description

Author: foxyloxy.wikimedia

Description:
From [[User:Fl/Reports/RevDelete#Superfluous log links]]:
Both (hide) and (change visibility) options are available on some log entries. While only a (hide) link is present in history related entries. (hide) and (change visibility) both lead to the same link, and such, are really quite pointless.

Recommendations: Decide which one to use, and get rid of the other one. Having two is just confusing and pointless. I would suggest keeping the (hide) links, as they are present in every type of log entry already. Although, they do conflict with the MediaWiki design.

"hide" hides the log item, "change visibility" is for the page revision; they are not the same.

Which is a tad confusing, unless one knows that ahead of time. However, I'm not sure what would be better without something long that wouldn't fit. Marking this as invalid since the links aren't the same.
