Last Change: compare to previous author's revision

[Ace_NoOne]

It might make sense to make Last Change show the diff including all recent, sequential changes by the same author. So if someone edits a page in three separate steps, Last Change would use the revision from the previous author for comparison.

Also importantly, it would be nice to be able to roll back all of those changes at once. Would be very handy for spam removal.

You can already do all of this from the Page History view: select the old revision that you seem fit (in your example, the last revision from a different author than the last author), View changes and from the diff view, you can Delete versions X to Y.

In 0.11, there's (again) a direct History link to this view, but in 0.10 you need to go there from the Last Change view, following the Page History link.

The point is that "Last Change" on the main wiki view could link directly to that diff, instead of simply the diff to the last version. In general this seems like a better behavior to me.

Well, what if you're the only author? What if you changed that page the day before? Or even 5 minutes ago, but for an unrelated change and all you really want is to review the Last Change you did, as the link says?

So this doesn't seem a good idea to me.

Closing again for the reasons exposed above (comment:2 and comment:4).
