Hello,
After the last update which included the links to the user:discussion page (which is certainly useful) I have problems to scan RecentChanges for the really important things, i.e. the articles which were modified. In English it is not such a big problem because "diff" and "hist" and "talk" (and "block") are a lot shorter than "Unterschied" "Versionen", "Diskussion" and "blockieren" but German RecentChanges are at the moment almost unreadable for me.
Well then, would it not be an idea to just use smaller versions for the German Wikipedia as well? I mean, 'diff' and 'hist' are abbrevations in English too. So what about 'Unt', 'Vers', 'Disk', 'block'?
comparison table: en: diff hist talk block de: Unterschied Versionen Diskussion blockieren es: diferencias historia discusion ? sv: skillnad historia Diskussion ? eo: malsamoj historio Diskuto ?
nl: wijz hist Overleg blokkeer (wijz=wijziging, hist=historie - although on the page themselves we use 'voorgeschiedenis' rather than 'historie')
