Commit summary for MediaWiki.r106884:
Followup r105280
For bug 33139 "Swapping colors in new diff color scheme"
* Modified diff colorscheme to yellow[orange]/blue[blue]
- These colors attempt to address the following issues with diffs:
- Colorblindness (Protanopia/Deuteranopia)
- Cultural meaning of color (e.g., "green is good, therefore this diff is
better")
* Bumped font size up overall (actually, just removed the smaller)
* Removed dotted line around difftext
MZMcBride's comment:
Discussion among whom? This is all stylistic changes that any wiki (including
the English Wikipedia) is free to override locally when the software is finally
pushed live.
If there are substantive issues with this change, please discuss them (on this
revision or in a bug or on the wikitech-l mailing list). Discussion about color
blindness/accessibility/etc. issues that may arise would be great. But any
particular wiki's views on changing the diff color for purely historical or
aesthetic reasons aren't really relevant here. Wikis retain their autonomy and
sovereignty to easily override this (as consensus dictates).
