Really? Is it in Bugzilla? A couple of interesting bugs I found: <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10268> "Watchlist RSS feed should include diffs" (marked RESOLVED, LATER which seems a bit weird to me?) <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3998> "support change-centric in addition to page-centric behavior mode for Recent Changes Atom feed" - although this is not closed, I just had a look at en.wikipedia's RC feed, and it has coloured diffs in it, so maybe this bug can be closed. Anyway I opened a new bug <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15254> "Page history feeds should have diff view, like RecentChanges feed". After thinking about it it makes the most sense to me that the (index.php) feeds should provide a diff view, and the API should not -- for machine purposes the pretty HTML diff is probably not much use. However, it may be nice if the diff algorithm implementation was available as a kind of standalone implementation. Does anyone know much about it? thanks, Brianna -- They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment: http://modernthings.org/ _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
