    "(Similarly to how it's really possible to view split vote counts before earning the privilege, but simply not advertising this is sufficient to prevent excess load on the server.)" Wait, really? How?

    @JoeZ. You can manually send the GET request (through XMLHttpRequest or $.get in your browser console), and there's no server-side check to see if you really have 1k rep. (There's also a convenience script on Stack Apps, which I won't link here but can easily be found via a simple search.)

  • I still haven't read a single convincing argument for why this should be accessible to everyone. What exactly would you do with that information? (Besides, this looks like a huge privilege, not really in the spirit of this thread.)

    Do you intend this to also allow for the search of other user's deleted posts? It seems you're taking @bluefeet's suggestion and adding a whole lot more power to it (not that it's ever likely to affect me).

    Wouldn't this make sense as an addition to the 10k level which includes the ability to view (and vote to undelete) posts? Commented Apr 22, 2015 at 23:12

    @JonEricson As to the status-completed, am I right that it is only half-way completed, since it only shows your own deleted things or have I misinterpreted that linked meta answer? Commented Dec 9, 2015 at 16:57

    @ChristianRau: Correct. Though, if you were quick, you could have searched other people's posts. That hole has been patched. Commented Dec 9, 2015 at 16:59
