--- Comment #5 from Krinkle <krinklem...@gmail.com> 2012-09-20 16:27:33 UTC --- I agree, it may not be intended as a feature but I find it quite useful from time to time to make a reasonable assumption based on the byte size. When there is a chaos in the history (vandalism mixed, reverts, vandalism, reverts etc.), the full byte count is pretty reliable to quickly verify that the last revert's content do in fact equal the last "stable" version (as opposed to the last revert only undoing the last edit, which, if it happens often enough, can be fooled if little bits are forgotten about). Having said that, one can just as easily select the two revs and generate a difference-view. That's more accurate anyway. So I wouldn't mind loosing this "feature", in return for shorter and more readable size measures on the history page. I'd much rather see a history like: * 10B * 34.5KB * 1.5MB than: * 10B * 35,328B * 1,573,000B (remember, the former 3 numbers are not rounded, 1 KB === 1024 B) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
