When Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rc and enabling "Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist" and expanding a group, the newest revision in a group links to the diff to "cur", even if there is no newer revision. The latest revision should probably not have a clickable "cur" link.

We don't usually JOIN on the page table for these queries, so it's hard to know if a change is the latest. You could assume that the top one in the group is, but that would fail if ChangesList is used on a time range like [timestamp A, timestamp B before the present].
I know what you mean; it would be hard to determine if there have been more recent changes (since recent changes/watchlist is divided by day, a page that is edited the next day would show up as a separate group).
Anyways, the example I linked to is no longer valid since there have actually been more recent changes. This link should hopefully be the same for a longer time: https://no.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mal:Valg_i_Tanzania&curid=974969&diff=0&oldid=9556518
The status quo is still the same as when this was filed. Given no activity on this in 10 years, I'm going to decline this. If you disagree, please re-open.
