Hi all, thank you for your feedback.
@Roy this is a good point, I honestly did not think about it before. However, in the back of my mind, I remembered this problem had been solved before. There is a beta feature called visual diffs. If you enable this feature and navigate to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:RoySmith/sandbox&type=revision&diff=1031413484&oldid=1031413445&diffmode=visual you see the text "math formula changed" this is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I was not yet able to figure out if there is an API to get the visual diffs. I had expected it to be in RESTbase, but nothing there. If I can get to that API the problem would be simple enough to start with the implementation.
