Open diffs in new tab

  • Problem: Sometimes when reviewing edits, we open the contributions list of an user and have to click on each diff link to check if there is anything wrong with the edits. For those that do it many times a day, it may be boring and time consuming to individually click on each of them.
  • Who would benefit: Reviewers in general, admins, stewards, oversighters, checkusers.
  • Proposed solution: It would be easier to have a button to open each diff in a new tab. Even if a limit is defined. Just like we have Smart rollback to rollback all the edits on a list, it will make our work easier and we will tend to be more thorough when looking for edits of a vandal, sockpuppet, or anything alike.

@Tgr: Maybe opening the content of all diffs in just one tab? Like a list of diff. Not sure if possible... just an idea. Similar with what we have on the Atom feed.—Teles «Talk to me ˱C L @ S˲» 04:53, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Teles: It certainly is possible but again you need to design and implement a dedicated interface which is a nontrivial amount of work. My point is that "open a bunch of links in new tabs" sounds super simple but wouldn't really be helpful (definitely not on mobile) and a more proper solution wouldn't be simple so this isn't really the "quick win" task it sounds to be. --Tgr (talk) 21:56, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
