Summary: Collapse single-editor runs in history
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: History/Diffs
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
For purposes of determining who did what to an article when, it is often
unhelpful to see a list of many often minor edits in a row by one editor,
without summaries. For example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liquid_Cooling_and_Ventilation_Garment&action=history
(I admit that I am often that editor, especially when starting an article.) I
suggest that unbroken runs of unsummarized edits by a single editor be
collapsed in the history display, with a [+] to expand and a parenthetical
number indicating the number of edits collapsed together. This will increase
the chunk of edit history that can reasonably be displayed on a page, and make
browsing histories easier.
Obviously, these cumulative edits should be marked minor only if all the
enclosed edits were so marked. (A more conservative alternative would be to
only collapse minor-marked edits to begin with.)
