Annihilate reverted, collapse multiple changes by the same author in page histories (Community Wishlist/W293)
Long-term opportunity
Description
Browsing some page histories can be hard and time consuming. There should be an option (a button) that will annihilate all reverted changes (not show them at all, but put a simple indicator they are there) and collapse multiple consecutive changes by one user (make it look like one, virtually).
A page history like
- change 4 by B
- REVERT of changes 3 and 2
- change 3 by X
- change 2 by X
- change 1 by A
would become
- change 4 by B
- ---- (a line as an indicator)
- change 1
A page history like
- change 4 by B
- change 3 by O
- change 2 by O
- change 1 by O
would become
- change 4 by B
- changes 3-2-1 by O
This would be reflected in the corresponding diffs as well. Reverted changes would be skipped, consecutive changes by the same user would be shown as one diff.
