Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Miscellaneous/Include size change in diffs

Random proposal ►◄ Miscellaneous The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Include size change in diffs

Problem: While the change in size is shown for each change in Recent Changes and article history pages, it is not shown on the diff itself, nor in the API as far as I can tell
Who would benefit: People reviewing changes
Proposed solution: Add the change in size to the diff page and API
