Extension:WikEdDiff



wikEdDiff is a visual inline-style difference engine with block move support. This extension is a feature-identical synced one-to-one port of the JavaScript library wikEd diff that is used by the Wikipedia/MediaWiki in-browser editor wikEd and by the gadget wikEdDiff. You can test wikEdDiff by checking any of these gadgets in your English Wikipedia preferences. For testing the effects of different settings, you can also use the wikEd diff online tool and demo.
