Description:
Problem:
When checking watchlist entries I want to see all changes since I last viewed
the page. The current software gives only a diff link to the latest change.
Therefore, I have to go to the history page, remember or guess when I have last
viewed the article, click the respective radio button, click the submit button,
and wait for the final diff page.
Solution:
If there is more than one change to a page then the diff link will directly
display all these changes. Additionally, a diff link for the last change will
also be provided. The hack only applies to the new watchlist / history /recent
changes view introduced in MediaWiki 1.5 were article links are highlighted.
The hacked watchlist will look like this:
22:49 Main Page (diff; hist) . . Corina (Talk) 22:43 Help Page (diff; hist) . . last: Mike (Talk)
The first line is a watchlist entry that has already been checked - nothing
changes for these.
The article in the second line has been changed and is displayed bold. Because
it has been changed more than once the 'diff' link will show all these changes
and the 'last' link will show only the last change.
