QuickDiff lets you quickly view (hopefully) any diff link on a wiki, whether on Recent Changes, Wiki Activity, history pages, the diff view itself, or elsewhere.
Note this will only work for links to the same wiki you're currently on (for example, a diff link on a page at community.wikia.com for a page at dev.wikia.com will load normally, rather than in QuickDiff).
QuickDiff was originally based on the 'DiffAnchored' script, written by Gguigui1, though it has since completely diverged. If you notice any issues or would like to give feedback, leave a message on the talk page.
Usage
- Importing multiple scripts? This quick guide shows how to combine the imports.
- For site-wide use, an administrator can add the line below to the wiki's MediaWiki:ImportJS page.
dev:QuickDiff/code.js
- For personal use, add the code snippet below to your global.js page (for use on all wikis) or your common.js page on your wiki (for use on a single wiki). Note that personal JS must be enabled for your account.
importArticles({
type: 'script',
articles: [
'u:dev:MediaWiki:QuickDiff/code.js',
]
});
Translations
If you can contribute a translation, it'd be very much appreciated!
If you are familiar with JavaScript syntax, feel free to add a translation to the code directly by copying an existing language object and translating the strings. If not, you can copy the text in the box below and leave a message on the talk page with your new translation.
