Summary: Please show amount of text added/removed, in green/red, on history and user contributions pages Product: MediaWiki Version: 1.17-svn Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Normal Component: General/Unknown AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: jasonspi...@gmail.com Hi. "Recent changes" and watchlists show the amount of text added/removed in green/red.[1] But "View history" only shows the total amount of text in each revision, and "User contributions" shows no amount information at all. It would be more useful to see amounts added/removed on all three of these pages, instead of just one.[2][3] This way, we'd instantly know which edits are additions, which are removals, which are big, and which are small. And on "View history", it would be even more useful to see both the amount added/removed and the new total, like this: "+ 100 = 1,100 bytes". This way, we'd be able to more easily check that every malicious blanking of a page that's ever happened has been fully undone. This would be useful on [[en:Labor Ready]] for example. ^ [1]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Added_or_removed_characters ^ [2]. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/48841 ^ [3]. [[fr:User:The RedBurn]] has already written a gadget that shows amount added/removed on all history pages you view. It doesn't affect contribs pages. To enable it, edit [[Special:MyPage/skin.js]] and add all this on one line: importScriptURI('http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-HistoryNumDiff.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
