Description

On the mobile diff page, we show the bytes changed and relative timestamp above the diff like so:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1177732218

To help us consolidate the 2 experiences, and avoid removing existing information {we should include the information in the desktop diff markup.

To begin with this can be hidden by default to avoid requiring a designer.

TODO

In the mw-diff-ntitle2 and mw-diff-otitle2 elements we will provide information on the user.
The diff page should output user groups and edit count
In all skins this will be hidden by default but appear in the HTML markup. Gadgets will be able to reveal this information if needed
In Minerva skin we will reveal this information.

Mock of new information in Vector 2022 skin when unhidden:
