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: We've concentrated on the background colors because the inversion of green's default meaning is the only change to which many people have objected (this time, at least). I can't speak for others, but I strongly prefer the French Wikipedia's differentiation method. As noted above, I've used it via my personal CSS (albeit with a different color scheme) since 2008. That the controversy pertains to a peripheral element (not the actual improvement) is a good thing. :) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
