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 Catrope's comment: I agree that we should cater to the colorblind by picking colors they can distinguish, but when deciding which color means what, surely we should prioritize what makes sense to the general population over what makes sense to colorblind people? I'm all for colorblind accessibility, but when deciding whether or not to swap the colors surely we shouldn't pick a scheme that's counterintuitive for the 95%+ that aren't colorblind just so it makes marginally more sense to those that are? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
