Hi. In page history screens and Recent Changes, please display revision length in characters, not bytes. Ariel T. Glenn writes, "I would love [this]. [This would be] more meaningful for almost every project. Readers are looking at text after all, not at raw strings."[1] Aryeh Gregor writes that it would prevent some users from becoming needlessly confused. "I imagine Chinese people are puzzled when RC reports +3 and there was only one character added."[2] ^ [1]. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/48841/focus=48966 ^ [2]. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/48841/focus=48965
Being this a request that I have seen commented here and there, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a duplicate of another report, more popular. Marking as Lowest, since nobody seems to be working or planning to work on this currently.
