Hi,
As you may know, the team Technical Wishes of Wikimedia Deutschland has worked on improving the wikitext diff view for over a year in order to fix a technical limitation: Whenever a paragraph was moved to another position on the page, it was displayed as a removed and added paragraph and users had to manually check if the text in the paragraph was altered or not. With the improvements in the diff code, the algorithm now recognizes paragraphs as moved, displays moved paragraphs as such and highlights changes within them. The desktop version of this was already deployed to most wikis end of May. Since today it’s available on all wikis. More details and before/after screenshots can be found here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Show_text_changes_when_moving_text_chunks As of today, moved paragraphs are also shown correctly on mobile. The Wikimedia Foundation’s Readers Web team developed styles for the mobile diff view, based on the recent improvements in the wikidiff code. A big thanks to everyone involved, especially to the Readers Web team for bringing the feature to mobile devices! Michi for the Technical Wishes team PS: Diffs are cached for up to 7 days, so it might take a few days until diffs of previous changes are generated with the new version. -- Michael F.
