Problem: Records of edits, whether in page history, recent changes patrol or user edit history are often crowded by relatively insignificant minor edits, making it difficult to find edits that have made more substantial changes and therefore require greater scrutiny.
Who would benefit: Editors interested in reviewing major changes to Wikipedia.
Proposed solution: Enable records of edits to be filtered by the size of the change (by specific number characters added or removed).
How about merging all recent edits by the same editor into one, and then showing diffs (each edit in different color, perhaps)? I assume most edits are good; if one is bad, you go back and check one by one. Ponor (talk) 21:28, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Changes that are small in size are not necessarily minor in content. Sneaky vandalism or falsification can radically change content with a zero-byte change. Nurg (talk) 08:55, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Une modification peut être désignée comme mineure ou apparaître comme mineure (1 lettre, 1 mot changé, voire une ponctuation) et pourtant, être du vandalisme ou une modification importante à vérifier. Cdmt' --Mylenos (talk) 12:19, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merci Mario. (Voilà encore un problème rencontré par les contributeurs du mode visuel ; et je ne sais pas écrire le petit "+" vert. Pas grave.) Cordialement' - Mylenos (talk) 21:59, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
