Why are we removing the revdel message? I know it's not a real word, but it has a real meaning: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:RevisionDelete

If anything, we could add \n{{Optional}} to the qqq documentation for the revdel message. I don't think there's a need to remove the ability to translate it entirely.

One cannot translate it! The way I see it, it's the abbreviation for RevisionDelete (RevDel)!

Correct. It's an intentionally short message, and it's up to the translator to come up with something that makes sense. If it nothing does, you can translate it literally, or just leave it as "revdel".

There are quite a few translations that exist already. For example, Russian uses "ревдел" which is also an abbreviation.
