Usage

While looking at a red link, you should see the following options near the top:

• "See deleted revisions" – this links to API output showing some metadata of deletion revisions, such as timestamps, usernames, sizes.
• For articles deleted via WP:G13, you should see a "Look up snippet in G13 Watch" link.
• For articles deleted via WP:PROD, you should see a "Look up snippet in PROD grid" link.
• For articles deleted via WP:AFD, you should see a "Look up snippet in AfD grid" link.

The snippets are available only for articles deleted in last 3 years or so.
