Make listing revisions an option on the list usage page

Created on 28 November 2024, 24 days ago

Problem/Motivation

The usage page list usages in old revisions as well as usages in drafts, default revisions and translations. Most of the time the usage in old revisions is noise that you want to filter out. Let's give users the power to do that and also let's give sites the ability to set the default state of the filter.

    I agree with the idea behind this, but I see a challenge in "filtering out the noise" on the listing page, because it could open the door to a scenario where the service reports usages of an entity (for example in the warning message when deleting an entity), and when editors go to the usage page to check what other entities reference it, they find nothing because the only usages are in past revisions. We'd need to find a way to let them know "there is nothing here because your site admin decided not to display past revisions" or something like that.
