Single good way of listing revisions on mobile web Open

Edit wish Discuss this wish

Description

There are three places where editors usually encounter revision lists: Special:Contributions, the watchlist, and page history. On desktop Wikipedias, the way these three look is similar, and they work well. On mobile web (advanced mode disabled), they are confusingly (and needlessly) dissimilar, and only Special:Contributions displays all relevant information.

Mobile page history and watchlist should be re-designed to be more like Special:Contributions, and therefore more usable. For example, neither shows edit tags, or full edit description. Watchlist entries that show page creation have clickable page and user links, which contrasts with normal watchlist entries, which are clickable only as a whole and link to the diff. Even worse, in article history, one can not click the initial revision, and therefore could not see the whole edit summary, or the user page of the page creator (without copying their username and pasting it into the URL).

This issue possibly also affects Recent changes, but I have never used it, so I don't know.
