/*                            DiffOnly
 * 
 * This gadget adds a "diff only" link next to the "Next edit" and "Previous
 * edit" links on diff pages. Clicking on the "diff only" link will show you
 * the diff with no page content. These links usually load a lot faster
 * than normal diff links, which can be handy for looking through lots of diffs.
 * 
 * To install it, add the following to your [[Special:MyPage/common.js]]:

importScript('User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/DiffOnly.js') // Linkback: [[User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/DiffOnly.js]]

 * Note that you can choose to never show the page content when viewing diffs
 * by going to Preferences → Appearance → Diffs, and by selecting the "Do not
 * show page content below diffs" checkbox. This should be preferred over using
 * this gadget if you do not want the option to choose between diffs with and
 * without page content.
 *
 * This script is based on code by HighInBC at
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:HighInBC/common.js&oldid=682081230
