Bug #: 33331
Summary: Way to much is marked red, making it impossible to see
whats changed
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
URL: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer_Diskussion:TMg/c
leanDiff.js
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: wikidiff2
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Short: Do not colorize characters red that did not changed.
Long: A few weeks ago the diff algorithm was changed in all Wikipedia projects.
If a single character was changed in earlier versions, this single character
was marked red. Now, all non-whitespace characters around this character become
red. In many cases this marks so much red, it becomes impossible to see what
really changed, especially when editing templates, links or images.
I think the idea was to make edited whitespace visible (was invisible in
earlier versions of the diff). If this is true, why don't you make the
whitespace visible? Only the whitespace? Not surrounding text that did not
changed?
Here are a few really bad examples:

http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hans_Bentzien&diff=prev&oldid=78225726
I created a script to fix this issue (I know it can't work in all cases, it's
just a bad hack to fix at least some of the issues):
