Moderators can see a list of all deleted posts (most recent first).  This is one of the links in the "Moderator Tools" section that mods (and admins) see in the sidebar:

![screenshot showing where the link is](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/x65x9l4u70rh7u5jnnqek1c4krxp)

(There is a second link, "Admin Tools", in this list for those with admin access.)

Curators can see deleted posts, if only they had a link -- and moderators have that link.  I propose that we rework this section slightly:

- Change the widget's heading from "Moderator Tools" to something like "Moderat**ion** Tools" or "Curation Tools" or just "Tools".  We need a name that is meaningful to the people who can see it (curators, moderators, admins); the section is otherwise hidden.

- Initially: for curators, add a link here to the Recent Deletions page, the same page that moderators see.  Yes, for moderators this is a little redundant, but that's ok (and it boosts the visibility).

- Future: curators can also see certain flags, so we should also give them a link to a (filtered) flags page here.  This gives us a place to put it.

For the curious: there are 9 items on the page of Moderator Tools and 13 on the page of Admin Tools, which is why those are separate pages with links in the sidebar.  Curators won't have that many so we can list those links directly and not make them click through an almost-stub page.  As the tools get richer we can rearrange the UI as needed.
