Hi Pine and others,

I made another before-after-screenshot for the mobile-version with the
"Honeyguide"-Example also used for screenshots on desktop-version:

   - Mobil:
   -
  
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ImprovedDiff_-_Example_1_-_before_mobile.png
  -
  
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ImprovedDiff_-_Example_1_-_after_mobile.png

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ImprovedDiff_-_Example_1_-_before2.png
  -
  
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ImprovedDiff_-_Example_1_-_after2.png

You can also use our test-wikis to view the changes with more and more
complex diffs, for example:
Desktop, before:

index.php?title=Test1=revision=34=30
Desktop, after:
  https://wmde-wikidiff2-patched.wmflabs.org/core/

Hi,


As you may know, the team Technical Wishes of Wikimedia Deutschland has
worked on improving the wikitext diff view for over a year in order to fix
a technical limitation: Whenever a paragraph was moved to another position
on the page, it was displayed as a removed and added paragraph and users
had to manually check if the text in the paragraph was altered or not.

With the improvements in the diff code, the algorithm now recognizes
paragraphs as moved, displays moved paragraphs as such and highlights
changes within them. The desktop version of this was already deployed to
most wikis end of May. Since today it’s available on all wikis. More
details and before/after screenshots can be found here:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Show_text_changes_when_moving_text_chunks

As of today, moved paragraphs are also shown correctly on mobile. The
Wikimedia Foundation’s Readers Web team developed styles for the mobile
diff view, based on the recent improvements in the wikidiff code.

A big thanks to everyone involved, especially to the Readers Web team for
bringing the feature to mobile devices!

Thank you very much Michael.

To give the non-editors an idea of the importance, the sizes of the
headaches, and the amount of time that editors were spending on trying to
understand complex diffs, I've seen multiple complex diffs used in
questions for candidates for English Wikipedia Administrator and
Arbitration Committee roles. The new desktop interface should make
everyone's tasks easier and save considerable time.

On the page that you link, I see only one image with a mobile view. Could
you provide examples of the before and after views on mobile, preferably
using the same text that you used for the desktop interface?

Thanks again for the good work.
