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 David Levy's comment: I strongly agree that if these colors are to be used, they should be swapped (so that the left column is blue and the right one remains green). This would be significantly more intuitive without impacting accessibility. As [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&diff=209684639 I noted] when the English Wikipedia briefly adopted the French diff style in 2008, there's no need to suddenly reverse the meaning of green. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
