If you decide to hide the byte difference from recent changes by using...
.mw-plusminus-pos, .mw-plusminus-neg, .mw-plusminus-null { display: none; }
...the periods that separate it from the surrounding text are still displayed.
Without CSS:
(diff) (hist) . . MyPage; 04:30 . . (-134) . . TheUser (Talk)
With CSS display:none:
(diff) (hist) . . MyPage; 04:30 . . . . TheUser (Talk)
Expected display with CSS display:none:
(diff) (hist) . . MyPage; 04:30 . . TheUser (Talk)
I have created a patch for this, which I will upload now.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
