- **Edit History**: Chronological list of changes with `reason`, `user`, and `diff`.
- **Timeline**: Major events (renames, relocations).
- **Rollback**: Ability to restore previous versions via the Moderation Queue.
### 2. `apps.accounts`
- **Responsibility**: User authentication, profiles, and settings.
- **Existing**: `User`, `UserProfile` (bio, location, home park).
- **Required Additions (Section 9)**:
- **UserDeletionRequest**: Support 7-day grace period for account deletion.
