- It's difficult to explain a whole help page better than the help page can itself. If you can point to some specific point you have a question about, maybe we can help you with that.
- As for the +/- indicators, they simply report the difference in size (in bytes) between an edit and its previous version. A value of zero means the files are the same size but does not mean there are no differences. Similarly, a value of +10 may mean that 1000 bytes were removed and were replaced by 1010, perhaps across lots of small edits in lots of places in the file. Large positive and negative numbers are pretty good signs of large additions or deletions, but otherwise the numbers don't reliably mean very much. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 04:03, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you very much, my main question was regarding those indicators and whether or not they were a reprsentation of postive or negative.
- Have a great night!
