BetterDiff is a script that enhances the user experience of diffs in most places that include them through the following:

• Adds a "view" link to diffs and diff groups that opens the diff view in an overlay modal. This applies to Special:RecentChanges, Special:Contributions, and page histories and includes the following features:
  • Links to the previous and following diffs for a page, relative to the one(s) being currently displayed.
  • Open button to open the diff(s) currently being displayed in a new tab.
  • Copy button to copy the full URL of the diff(s) currently being displayed.
  • Up and Down buttons to move to the diff directly above or below the diff(s) currently being displayed in the current list of diffs (i.e., in Special:RecentChanges, Special:Contributions, or a page history), excluding logged actions. Can also be triggered with the keyboard shortcuts Alt + 2 and Alt + 3, respectively
  • Section at the bottom of the modal to display a preview of the currently viewed diff.
• Adds diff links to page creation diffs in Special:RecentChanges, Special:Contributions, and page histories, while also rendering a full diff view of the edit (with a blank page as the "previous revision") instead of the default (No difference).

Exclusive to users with patrol rights:

• Adds a dropdown and an input field to the Special:RecentChanges filter table to allow for mass patrolling based on user, namespace, or both.
• Allows quickly patrolling edits on normal diff pages and new articles or files with the keyboard shortcut Alt + 1. (Compatible with MassPatrol)
• Add a Mass patrol link in the quick view modal, below the diff header, to instantly patrol any unpatrolled revision currently displayed.
