Add filesize change indicators in revision history
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently we have a number in Special:Watchlist that indicates the changes of article size. But this stuff doesn't show up in history. So would you please add this useful indicator to the history page, just like what it does in the watchlist? Thanks.

Best regards.

History currently shows the full size per revision, whereas watchlist and recentchanges show (possible consolidated) relative size changes. Showing both might look a little cluttered...

Adding "design" tag because a UI expert should consider whether and how to provide this information without adding clutter.
