Description Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2010-03-03 17:30:56 UTC
This is a feature request. I'm not sure if its a good idea or not, but thought I'd submit a bug anyways.

Basically, I've noticed recently i sight lots of edits like http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=NASA%20scientist%3A%20Chile%20earthquake%20may%20have%20shifted%20Earth%27s%20axis%2C%20shortened%20day&diffonly=0&diff=cur&oldid=970250

which only add an interlanguage link. Since an interlanguage link is not really content, i wonder if it should automatically be considered sighted no matter who adds it, if thats the only thing they add, since an edit that only adds an interlanguage link isn't really changing anything, and when was the last time someone vandalized by adding an inter-language link?

Just a thought. 
-cheers

It's too messy to get into these kind of text comparisons. It also makes a slightly annoying vandalism vector that isn't currently there.
