Description DieBuche 2011-07-12 12:04:50 UTC 
Currently diff pages are internally action=view.
The JS var wgAction=="view" as well.

It would be useful to add an action=diff to seperate from action=view
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2011-07-12 19:01:25 UTC 
Diff views are a special case of page views showing an old page version, plus a diff. Like old version views without the diffs and current version views with and without diffs, they're handled by the view action, usually include full page view contents, and have all the UI of a page view.

What would adding a different action variable add? Would it have potential problems with code assuming that not having an action of 'view' means that there's not a page to view and that they shouldn't do UI hookups?
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2011-07-20 22:29:42 UTC 
Closing this one out as a WONTFIX for now; could reconsider for future if we actually do a major overhaul of the diff view feature.
