This proposal is associated with the bolded strategic priorities below.


  1. Achieve continued growth in readership
  2. Focus on quality content
  3. Increase Participation
  4. Ensure that the underlying project infrastructure is secure, stable, and sufficient to guarantee the permanence of the projects and support ongoing growth.
  5. Encourage Innovation


Summary

In our watchlists, the red/green color of the change in bytes to articles gives a good hunch of the nature of the edits. In article histories (example of article history in current format) the total size of the article at that point is given instead.


Proposal

I think it would be just as useful having those numbers in article histories in red/green color as well.


Motivation

It would make it easier to spot, for example, vandals deleting large sections of articles.
