thiemowmde closed T202304: Mobile diff does not show the cutting points between two diffs as Resolved.
Looks like there are ⋮ in the visual diffs now at exactly the points where we missed them before.
Jdlrobson edited projects for T202304: Mobile diff does not show the cutting points between two diffs, added: MediaWiki-Page-diffs; removed Platform Team Workboards (Clinic Duty Team), MobileFrontend (Tracking).
Is this ticket still relevant? Untagging MobileFrontend as MobileFrontend no longer has any diff code.
Jdlrobson closed T281056: Diffs hard to read in Special:MobileDiff (broken up into per word) as whitespace is considered a delimiter as Resolved.
The mobile site now uses the same code as the desktop site. Please see T358293 for more information. For any new or related bugs please file them under MediaWiki-Page-diffs

• tstarling added a comment to T340738: wikidiff installed +x.
This is not specific to wikidiff2. The problem is somewhere in the PHP build system.
I don't really think it's necessary. Pages can have multiple languages on them. The content language is not necessarily correct. We're detecting whether the page contains Thai characters and running Thai word breaking only if Thai was detected. Profiling indicates that this is not a significant performance problem.
• tstarling updated subscribers of T164795: Added or removed lines in between changes messes with diff alignment.
Example reported at T7072
• tstarling closed T339915: Show wikidiff2 version in Special:Version's softwareInformation as Resolved.
This was done in ecdd1a34bef120d6ddd6ff3e4e37faecc1bfb922, citing T339915.
I split off a formatter hierarchy in 6d62f503fd7063a8d3b57f50e85da5b7780b5a6b. I hope that solves the problem sufficiently.
There was a bug in argument parsing which could have caused this, and it was fixed in c77f72ee4d6f95d25d14f89c2a9f670f2bf438e5. Please reopen this task if the crash is reproducible with wikdiff2 1.14.1.
wikidiff2 configuration settings are now available as $wgWikidiff2Options in MediaWiki.

Korg added a comment to T349963: Diff does not accurately show deleted text.
It is not just in the module namespace. The same problem also occurs in the main namespace:
Korg renamed T349963: Diff does not accurately show deleted text from Diff shown is not accurate in module namespace to Diff does not accurately show deleted text.

Sollyucko added a comment to T326773: Wikidiff2 considers each space to be a separate word.
In T117279: [EPIC] Core should provide inline diffs as well as side by side (Move InlineDifferenceEngine into core / remove MobileDiff), I posted an example of how bad this can get in MobileDiff:

MusikAnimal edited projects for T347013: Include line numbers for every line of the inline diffs on code pages, added: wikidiff2; removed Community-Tech, MediaWiki-Page-diffs, Better-Diffs-2023.
This would require a change to wikidiff2 to work on our cluster, which at this stage is outside the scope of the Better-Diffs-2023 project.

This was solved by @tstarling and Community-Tech as part of the Better-Diffs-2023 project. That project still isn't officially over (we've got a few lingering bugs here and there to fix), but this task I think can safely be resolved. The example diff looks pretty easy to interpret now :)

Pols12 updated subscribers of T346460: Confusing diff for spatially disparate changes.
@Umherirrender , it is a design issue, not a backend diff calculation issue.
