The way that MediaWiki currently displays differences between different versions of an article often makes it unnecessarily hard to see exactly what has changed with a certain edit. (This may only be a problem using the Classic Mediawiki skin). For an example, see the URL linked above, and quickly tell me what was changed. :) It's easy to spot once you know what it is, but it took me more than a minute until I actually noticed the difference (admittedly, I'm somewhat colourblind when it comes to the red/yellow/green part of the spectrum). The problem here is that displaying changed text in red and bold does not make it visibly stand out from the rest of the text at all. It would probably be a better idea to give the changed text a different background colour in addition to bolding it. Thanks. :)

I'm not color blind and I immediately saw that the string " test" at the end of the paragraph had been removed, I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug 777, please reopen it if you feel that bolding the text is not enough, which seemed to be an appropriate resolution for other people with color blindness (although that might have been a different, more common type of color blindness). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 777 ***
