The real value of A/B testing this particular change or a variation of it, is to help everyone decide what the ideal change might be (e.g. red vs bold vs an icon) and what impact each of those options have in comparison to each other and/or to a baseline. That way we can still make judgement calls with the input of design expertise and even consensus, but conversation can form around data, rather than just opinion. If anyone wants to write a description of a test like this they want to see, then you are always welcome to post it to MediaWiki.org or Meta, and get our attention. Being bold and adding it to the list of planned experiments https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_engagement_experimentsis a good way to do so. :) Even if we may not always have the bandwidth to do these experiments ourselves immediately, we are always happy to gather ideas for future work, since we regularly have time to run smaller experiments on the side. We can also help you set up an experiment and work through the data collection/analysis cycle.
