Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Watchlists/Hide reverted edits/Proposal

• Problem: My watchlist is cluttered with sets of edits like the following:

  Linux distribution (2 changes | history) .. (0) .. [196.132.42.175; DomainSand]

Clicking on "2 changes" shows an empty diff.

• Proposed solution: Add an option to hide sets of edits that collectively produce an empty diff. Such a set commonly includes one or more edits by a vandal and a rollback edit.
• Who would benefit: Editors with many pages on their watchlists. My watchlist contains over 700 pages so hiding the edits that don't require my attention would be a huge help.
• More comments: As a workaround, I configured my browser to run following JavaScript snippet every time I open my watchlist:

[...document.querySelectorAll(".mw-tag-mw-reverted .mw-plusminus-null")].forEach(
  (el) => { el.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.style.display = "none" }
)

This serves me well but is brittle and clearly not a solution for everyone.
