Just out of curiosity, why was this declined?

Any news on this? While enabling syntax highlighting itself by default on enwiki is blocked on a few smaller issues issues, there don't seem (to me at least) to be any blockers for globally enabling the colour changes.

(I am so sorry for the noise - I wanted to replace the archived team with the milestone)

Should this be marked as resolved or is there any other work that needs to be done?

(PR created.)

I am willing to work on this.

Since both 1.35 and a compatible SMW version has been released, as far as I can tell this is no longer stalled (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

I would like to note that there are valid use-cases for editing talk pages without creating sections (especially when creating one) - for example, adding templates (eg WikiProject templates/assessments or certain maintenance templates), configuring archival bots or (in some cases) formatting comments.

The issue is back.

Note: on Monday 21st, WMF will check in and choose an appropriate action on any wikis where none has been taken.

Did you mean Monday 24th?

This is especially true with the Save As dialog for settings:

Also: minor error in the pic (https://phab.wmfusercontent.org/file/data/rxxgymopspxpkb63zffu/PHID-FILE-n37bj4rad7jg5njlg3dp/375_History_-Compare_revisions.png{F29853676}); it should read “When you compare two different revisions of an article, the differences between them are generated and shown. Only the edit information related to the newest one is shown.”

@cmadeo ahhhh

Was this issue created after mine? Just wondering.

@alexhollender I'm using the iOS app, and yes, I am refering to diffs.
