Question: is this extension responsible for "Special:Diff" ?

if so, there are a few missing things:

  • special:diff does not show in special:SpecialPages, which means it's "hidden"
  • i could not find any documentation for Special:Diff. e.g., i managed to figure out that you use rev number with slash ("Special:Diff/<rev#> ), but i still do not know how to pass "oldid" when trying to diff multiple edits
  • could not find the appropriate string to translate in translatewiki: for other special pages, we have translations, e.g., "Special:Contributions" in hewiki can be accessed through "מיוחד:תרומות". Special:Diff as no translation ATM, and i can't igure out where to translate it.

even if Sepcial:Diff has nothing to do with this extension, i'd still appreciate answers...

peace.

No. The MediaWiki core is responsible for Special:Diff.

  • I believe that this special page is only meant for providing inline diffing of versions.
  • The only documentation I could find is at this spot. Yeah, a little extra page on this will be great.
  • On translatewiki.net the special pages name will have to be translated via betawiki:Special:AdvancedTranslate

I have just created Help:Diff which probably needs more love. However, it contains all the essential information on this new special page.
