This is why for instance the RSS > feed attempts to avoid doing diffs it thinks might be too big or slow (though > it doesn't do a very good job of this iirc). > > In short: I hate diffs, they suck. ;) > I second that. > Considerations: > > * Do we really need to request multiple diffs at once, or do we just want an > API point for requesting *a* diff in a consistent fashion? > > * Do we care that the result is going to be a big wad of HTML which will > change > depending on the version of MediaWiki, the diff backend installed, etc? > For answers to these questions, read comment #7, #8, #10 and #11. > * What's the actual intention of fetching the diff anyway? > That doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
