After some database schema changes, we have started updating the live software on the site again. Visibly, this introduces a field on Special:Recentchanges showing the number of characters added or removed by each edit, giving an impression of the magnitude of changes.
This figure has been available for some time on the IRC feeds of changes, but is now stored in the database for display in the recent changes list.

Any way to display the new/old article size in the RC feed? It would be a really nice thing for anti-vandal-bots which prevent page-blanking.

Can this (theoretically or practically) appear on the watchlist page as well?
