Description

Steps to Reproduce:
-Go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page with Safari for iOS 14.0.1
-Make sure you are logged in
-Click the human icon in the upper right-hand corner to drop down the menu, then select 'watchlist' to go to the user's watchlist.
-Next to the title of any recently edited article, it says: "(diff | hist)". Click 'diff'.
Actual Results:
I am taken to the front page of the article.
Expected Results:
I am taken to the "difference between revisions" for the most recent revision of the article.

For some reason, the 'diff' selection on the watchlist page no longer works. I am able to see the differences if I go to history, then select 'compare selected revisions'. The 'hist' button on the watchlist still works. Only the diff button from the watchlist is is no longer functioning as it used to.

Hi @Apathyash, thanks for taking the time to report this and welcome to Wikimedia Phabricator! Unfortunately I cannot reproduce:

Click the human icon in the upper right-hand corner

I cannot find any such item in Firefox 81:

I don't see any such links either when going to my watchlist. Could you provide a screenshot, if possible?

Hi @Aklapper,
This issue is occurring on mobile, using the safari iOS app, not on the web browser. As I indicated in the steps I laid out, you have to go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page with Safari for iOS 14.0.1.

Here are the steps visually, I hope that makes things more clear.

Ah, thanks! I assumed that "Safari for iOS" means it's in a browser window. I guess I have no idea what a "safari iOS app" is then, and that's fine. :)
