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 Jarry1250's comment: Oh, no. It's just that the French changed *in 2006*. They weren't used to the diff colours nearly as much. en.wp and other wikis (WMF and non-WMF) now are, which begs the question (in the non-technical sense), why change just for the sake of change. If we can improve the situation for colourblind users without swapping the meaning of green for them, why shouldn't we? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
