Diffs should show change tags at lower resolutions
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature
Actions

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):

  • Mobile diff pages should show change tags as the standard desktop diffs do

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

  • Knowing a bad edit was already reverted can inform that no action is needed on it, saving time
  • Knowing what client/workflow was used for an edit can help identifying bugs/issues with them
  • Seeing what tools are used for certain edits can help users discover new tools that are useful to them

This looks like it would be trivial now just by removing https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/skins/MinervaNeue/+/f936ebae007e42dfadaa745c042d11efae5934a7/skinStyles/mediawiki.diff.styles.less#196 ? Seems to work in console.
