+985 ?
I'm sure this has been explained before but it's 12:30 here in Chicago and I just did a page so I don't feel like looking
Anyway, what do those little number mean when you click on the 'Recent Changes' tab. Like this... The Suffering: Ties That Bind; 06:04 . . (+985) . . BeardedHoplite (Talk | contribs) Just curious. |
+985 bytes or bits of data?

When you make a change, like a mispelling "TANKRE" and spell it correctly "TANKER" the change will be "0" since you did not ADD nor subtract any characters from the page. Changing the pixel width of a pic from "500px" to "600px" yields the same result. And obviously when you delete stuff, the number will be NEGATIVE. When I see new or anonymous members making a large Positive or negative change in character count, I IMMEDIATELY go to that page and see (in the page history) what exactly they did. A huge negative number usually means some jerkoff is trying to mass delete stuff on the page for giggles. That has happened too many times to count. |
