Pages or portions thereof should show a stability scale. This could be colour coded and/or coded alphanumericaly as a level of relative stability of contents of the wiki. Stability should be calculated as a function of the lenght of time since an edit and the nomber of visits in that time. Therefore pages that get edited often would or get visited seldom would be ranked less stable than others which get edited less often/visited frequently. It should be possible to activate a highlight which would show the stability of different parts of a document. This would serve to highlight hotspots where frequent changes are made, and also stable areas. It is very important that this analysis of stability be calculated relativly. ie. The stability of one page would be determined relative to the stability of all other pages.
For the time being, I changed the priority of this bug to "normal"; the votes for this bug will show how urgently this idea is considered, I think! But I like this idea very much! With this feature the reader of an article could easily guess if the article revision she/ he is watching is vandalised/spammed or not.
Created attachment 3426 [details] Creates a revision history graph Calculating a relative stability would require schema changes and likely be expensive, so instead I've made this alternate solution (attached). Although it won't compare the article relative to others, it will nevertheless give you a good idea of how 'stable it is'. Overview: On the history page, between the subtitle and list of revisions, I've added a bar graph which shows the number of revisions made to the article over the last year. The graph is HTML-only (so the server doesn't waste time creating images), works in FF and IE and can be shown/hidden like the TOC in a regular article.
Why would this be useful? Anyway, Erik Z. probably will have stats like this up.
