[Wikipedia-l] Simplified & generalized diff selection

[Axel Boldt]

Our current way of selectin diffs with (cur) and (last) is quite
confusing and restrictive. Often when listing a page's history, I see a
group of edits from a single user and would like to check the net
effect of that group of edits, but the software doesn't let me do this.

Here's a proposal for an improvement: on the page's history, (cur) and
(last) are junked. Instead, every listed version has two checkboxes in
front of it. To get the diff from version x to version y, you check the
first box in front of x and the second box in front of y, then click on
the diff button. 

Only one button can be checked per column. When initially viewing a
page history, the buttons for the two most recent versions are already
checked, so that hitting the diff button immediately will show the
effect of the last edit.
