Diffs

• I think the in-line diff is more suited to mobile screens, although the ability to switch between them would be great.
• There are visual diffs too, although I'm not sure what the status of that project is and whether they are ever planned to graduate from a Beta Feature. I do like them, and prefer the colours they use to the current mobile diffs.
• Mobile diffs are currently missing the useful change tags (phab:T298174)

Undo/rollback

• I usually undo entire edits. Occasionally make "partial reverts" but it's not that common.
  • Might it be possible to gather data on how often "partial reverts" are made?
• To be honest I rarely undo or rollback edits when on mobile. If the option was available from the diff page (like "Thank" is) then I would certainly use it more
• Another annoyance is how prominent the rollback links are in the mobile watchlist, to the extent that English Wikipedia has a gadget specifically to add a confirmation step . It's rare to want to rollback without at least looking at the diff, so having the option on the diff page might mean the Watchlist ones could be removed or at least de-emphasised

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

In terms of partial reverts we looked at some data and found that only 3% of reverts (edits which take an article back to an earlier state) were partial reverts, with the rest being full reverts. Do you have any concerns about making it easier to perform full reverts from a vandalism perspective? i.e. are vandals likely to make more use of this and therefore generate additional workload for patrollers?

Hmm, that's a good point about possible downsides of making it easier. Not just for vandals, but for misguided good faith editors as well: if you get a notification that your edit was reverted, which links directly to the diff page, it could be quite tempting just to click the Undo button there. Maybe the feature should only show up for autoconfirmed users? Or not show up on diffs that are themselves undos, as a way to discourage edit warring?
