Stack Exchange - Deleted Answer Manager

Description

This script hides the content of deleted answers (which are visible to 10k+ Stack Exchange users), injects a show content / hide content toggle in the answer's menu, and injects a visibility toggle for all hidden questions into the page.

Notes

Based on a few comments below, as of June 2017 I have updated and republished the Chrome extension.

If you like/use the extension, please rate it in the Chrome store. Additionally, before UserScripts.org shut down, the script saw a lot of activity there. If a similar site has taken its place in popularity, please let me know in the comments below so that I can post it there as well.

Installation

This script is now available as a Google Chrome extension.
