Appeal and discussion of actions: describe reversal of general and F5 revdels, as proposed on talk page
Misuse: Change "must be grossly offensive" to "must strictly fall under one of the following criteria", because that text (added 20 Oct 2009), if literally interpreted, shuts off every criterion but RD2
Line 26:
RevisionDelete was introduced for administrators in 2010. The community's endorsement of the tool included a very strong consensus that its potential to be abused should be strictly barred, prevented by the community, and written into the policy. Especially, RevisionDelete does not exist to remove "ordinary" offensive comments and incivility, or unwise choices of wording between users, nor to redact block log entries.
 
Material must be grossly offensive, with little likelihood of significant dissent about its removal. Otherwise it should not be removed. Administrators should consult as usual if uncertain that a revision would be appropriate to redact.
