History reviewer is a script, written in JavaScript, that changes "history" tab style on Wikipedia, in order to bring attention to it if article was changed recently. While it is a standalone script, it works best as an extension to the Navigation popups gadget.
Features edit
- time duration since last edit is compared to the average duration between edits (5 most recent edits)
- if recent edits are too close to each other (less than 30 minutes), it marks the history to be an editWar
- if last edit was made more recently than previous edits were apart (and before a week ago), it marks the history to be recentlyChanged
- if the last edit was made by an unregistered user or by user with few contributions (less than 5), it marks the history to be made by an questionableEditor
- if only 1 edit was ever made, it marks the history to be of a new article
- otherwise, it marks the history to be ok
- the actual history is shown on mouseOver event of the "history" tab (thanks to the Navigation popups)
