Commit summary for MediaWiki.r105280: Diff colors now use the french Wikipedia scheme The french community has been using a specific set of colors for diff, it is believed to be easier to read for people perceiving colors differently. Source is from: http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=72567845&uselang=en This commit override r94429 / r94461. See also docs/uidesign/mediawiki.action.history.diff.html Edokter's comment: Doing so would shift that ambiguity to the color-blind, most of whom cannot distinguish between red and green. So it would make even less sense to them to swap the colors. I don't even rely on the colors; to me, left means removed, right means added. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
