Hi there, The Technical Wishes Team of Wikimedia Germany is currently working on a soon-to-be deployed major improvement of the diff view engine. [1]
It is now available on test wiki [2] and Mediawiki [3] and it would be great if you could test it and tell us if you encounter any bugs. [4] The deployment to all other wikis will hopefully happen in the near future. While working on this, we also found an old bug in the diff engine: Sometimes two paragraphs which are not related at all are considered a changed paragraph: example [5]. We have fixed this bug now and it was already deployed on all wikis by the end of October. [6] [7] The bigger improvement of the diff view will be announced separately, once the date for its deployment is fixed – expect it in a few weeks.
