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: Blue doesn't traditionally carry a negative connotation (and it sometimes takes on a positive connotation when contrasted with other colors — notably red), but compared to green, "good" symbolism isn't nearly as common (particularly when color-coding text, icons and emblems). In ''Star Wars'', both blue [http://i.imgur.com/XVDoL.jpg and green] often indicate good (with red indicative of evil). ''[[:en:Tron|Tron]]'''s original script called for blue to indicate evil. In the actual film, the usage is mixed (good and evil). I was unable to find any information about the traffic lights to which you refer. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
