Allow seeing all changes since last visit directly from Special:Watchlist

  • Problem: If you go to your watchlist/RC and want to see diff of all changes of some specific page since you last visited that page, there is no link or button to achieve this in one click.
At the moment, there is only "diff" and "hist" on a watchlist line. If 5 changes have been done since my last visit (1st is the older, 5th the last), I can't see them immediately. "diff" will show the difference between the current and the previous change (between changes 4 and 5), "hist" will show the entire history page. Solution could be a link to show the diff of the 5 last changes, like it is on grouped recent changes ("cur" link that displays the result of diff=0).
  • Who would benefit: Users monitoring pages by changes since last visit
  • Proposed solution: Add some button or change diff link target (if showing just the last change preference is on) to view diff of all changes since last visit, not only the last change to date.
