             Bug #: 36976
           Summary: Diffs: Incorrect number of bytes added or removed
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: WikidataClient
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


The number of bytes added in several diffs are wrong. The bug applies to page
histories and user contributions, but does not seem to have any effect on
Recent changes.

Here is one example:
MerlIWBot edits Template:Link GA on wikidata-test-client by adding one
interlanguage link. In his contributions and in the page history the edit is
stated as being 1370 bytes. Those 1370 bytes are actually the size of the
template itself, but not the size of the edit. The RecentChanges state that the
edit is 30 bytes, which is much more believable.

From /Special:Contributions/MerlIwBot:
18:51, 12 May 2012 (diff | hist) . . (+1,370)‎ . . Nm Template:Link GA ‎
(Robot: Adding el:Πρότυπο:Link GA) (top)

From index.php?title=Template:Link GA&action=history
(cur | prev) 18:51, 12 May 2012‎ MerlIwBot (Talk)‎ m . . (1,370 bytes)
(+1,370)‎ . . (Robot: Adding el:Πρότυπο:Link GA) (undo)

From RecentChanges:
12 May 2012
(diff | hist) . . m Template:Link GA‎; 18:51 . . (+30)‎ . . ‎MerlIwBot (Talk)‎
(Robot: Adding el:Πρότυπο:Link GA)

I can name several other examples aswell, but I am going to stick to this one
for now.
