I thought that the history is supposed to be available for legal reasons. It's the only way that contributors to the article are attributed, as required by the Creative Commons licensing.
Edit: quite a bit of the history is unavailable, but the names of the contributors can still be seen. Perhaps that's sufficient. https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexander_Waibel&action=history https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexander_Waibel&...
- jacques_chester 8y agoCourts typically have power over licenses.
- incompatible 8y agoI doubt that it's intending to take away any attribution rights, in this case. Wikipedia could use some other method of attribution, if the history was entirely unpublishable.
- jpatokal 8y agoIf all of somebody's contributions are removed, there's nothing to attribute to them.
- incompatible 8y agoThey didn't just take away the infringing contribution, but everything prior to 2018-09-28.
