Description:
To allow users to more quickly stay abreast of changes to an article (particularly if it covers a developing topic), they should be able to view the article page in a form that highlights any changes since a particular date, rather than only being able to to view un-rendered side-by-side markup diffs.
There should be a time slider that allows a user to set the period of diffs that are highlighted, with the slider defaulting to either the time of the user's last visit to the article, or a reference point the user has set.
This feature would enhance Mediawiki's support for a "read-state", which is particularly invaluable for wiki-journalism.
