Description:
From [[User:Fl/Reports/RevDelete#Large_page_deletion_logs]]:
When a page is previously deleted, the page deletion log is displayed on the "this page does not exist" page. Because hiding revisions exists in the deletion logs, they are all displayed also. This is unhelpful to the user, who would be primarily using that box to find out why the whole page has been deleted, as that is the only time that box appears. Instead, they can be confronted by a multitude of confusing log entries that don't (and can't) apply to them.

Recommendations: Filter the deletion log displayed on that page, or move RevDelete entries to a different/new log.

Note that this bug applied only to edit mode. My patch excludes revision-delete for page views, too.
