Description
I often find myself adding links such as wiki:TracInstall@374?action=diff in order to reference a wiki change from a ticket comment. TracInstall@374 could be used, which results in a banner with a diff, but that's less obvious when I really want to just down the diff, and also requires two clicks to get to the information I want to emphasize.
wiki:TracInstall@374?action=diff is not too awful, and it could be wrapped in brackets, but that results in TracInstall@374, where it's not obvious to the reader that you are pointing to a diff.
So, I'm unsure what, if any, the ideal addition to the TracLinks syntax would be, but I'm thinking of something like diff:TracLinks@374, with the complementary explicit version wiki:diff:TracLinks@374. The diff part is an action, so I'm not sure whether placing it after the realm would fit with the general patterns adopted by TracLinks.
Maybe TracInstall@374 is good enough, or maybe we just need to make that link to a diff (or the entire #info) a little more prominent.
