Topic on Extension talk:RevisionSlider

Its right now I think the vertical bars do not have enough room to show the potential difference in changes. For example you can just barley tell between something thats a minor grammatical change and something that has rewritten half the page. It would be useful if there was some option to expand the page.

I'm really curious, but need a screenshot or example page to understand the problem better. As of now the graph is logarithmic and dynamically scales so that the biggest change takes up 100% of the available height, with all other changes scaled accordingly. It's mathematically not possible for a minor change to look identical to a rewrite. Not even when a page's history contains a change that replaced the entire page.

Well I don't mean and didn't say it's impossible to tell the difference what I mean is that the difference between a minor change and a major change could be more visually noticeable when sifting through a large list of edits. So it would be nice but not required if it was possible to make the section taller by not using a logarithmic system and instead using a linear one.

I hope that clarifies it I just wanted to see if there was any way to make it easier for editors to find potentially malicious or significant edits in the history. I have included a screen shot showing the issue https://imgur.com/SA0QKpF. The high bar to the right is the a major edit while the other edits are either template edits or other wise minor.

Thanks for the help,

I would love to understand better which page that is, on which wiki? How big are these changes according to the information shown in the popups?

The best theory I have at the moment is that what you describe as a "major" edit was removing and adding a similar amount of bytes, but the total size of the page didn't change much. The RevisionSlider bars are meant to show how much the size of a page changed, i.e. the same as the +/− in the watchlist.
