Besides the regular history links special:contributions should show a diff link like article history pages do for easy overview of a user contributions.
set priority to high. this is a trivial change which could save lots of unnecessary loading of histories (usually you want to see the diff, not the history).
Copied existing feature requests from: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=763501&group_id=34373&atid=411195 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=859357&group_id=34373&atid=411195 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=870130&group_id=34373&atid=411195 Currently, from a watchlist, you can perform diffs on the most recent posts to the articles on your watchlist. This is an extremely useful tool in immediately detect if someone has vandalized a page that you watch. With one click, you can tell what is wrong. However, from a users's contribution page, it would be very useful to have this same functionality. Currently, to see if a user's contributions are harmful or not, you have to first click on the article title, then you have to click on page history, then you have to click on 'last'. I find that, when I run into a user that seems to have submitted questionable data, I like to diff their other recent posts to detect trolling. This feature would be extremely useful for this purpose. Will Chiong - dropdeadgorgias I support this! I tend to notice vandalism days or weeks after it has happened, then use the user contributions page to check the rest of the edits by that user. For that, I have two questions to ask: 1. what did this edit do? (dif with past version) and 2. is it still there (look at current version). Currenty I fake this with more clicks and page loads via history. user_Jamesday This would be handy! Reassigning to feature requests. Brion Vibber "diff" and "view" links on each line of user contributions. Pretty self-explanatory, but it would be great to be able to see each edit of a user's without having to go through an article's history. Daniel Quinlan User contributions page needs (cur) (hist) links. The (top) indicator on the user contributions page is very useful to show that no more change is done after the user's contribution. The problem is when the (top) indicator is missing. The contributor's next logical step is to check what change was put on top of his. To do that one needs to click the article page, then the page history page, then the (cur) or (hist) links. i.e. the most common flow of activity needs to go thru three pages from this user contributions page. I would suggest that for each entry where (top) is no applicable, the (cur) (hist) links should be put in place. evanprodromou
