Article history: diffs regarding additions to existing list items are shown inconsistently.
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Open a diffs page (difference with preceding revision) where the changes consist of additions to existing list items.

Use this one as an example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deaths_in_August_1990&diff=1130482117&oldid=1130481561

What happens?:
As you can see the diffs are presented in two different ways although the type of change is identical; an addition to an existing list item:

  1. The diff is shown as a deletion + addition. In my example: see [[Carl Ekern]]
  2. The diff is shown as an update: In my example [[George Stavrinos]]

What should have happened instead?:

I would expect that additions to existing lists are always presented in the same way. This type of additions should be presented as an update instead of a deletion + addition in the diffs page.
