Watchlist and RC has as you know display of bytes changed on that revision. I would propose that simlar functionallity is to be added to history page as well.
Requires schema change.
Would it be possible to display these figures for those revisions recent enough to have this information available? I understand they, or the data used to derive them, are stored in the "Recent Changes" table: would this information be useful for any revision old enough to have dropped off there?

Why I wanted this feature, is when multiple vandalism occur on a page, to identify first good revision.
This bug seems to have been fixed (as there are since a time ago now size displayed in the page history)
In fact, it hasn't; page histories show the size of each revision, but won't show the difference in size between them. Then again, whether we want this is up for debate...having the size seems more useful to me, and having the change sizes would then be redundant.
Also, a user JS can calculate and show the size changes, hence putting the load on the client (rather than the server) side.
