Streams do not accurately show edit deltas for Set / FA / FFA name date and notes

What happened?

eg just trying to see the basic edit history for this discussion:

https://www.thecrag.com/discussion/1884431241/naming-for-orange-crack--brain-on-crack

Option 1) stream in the route page, filter to just edit's

https://www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/blue-mountains/perrys-lookdown/route/313798704

Downsides:

• you still get some junk like photo uploads which should not be here
• it looks like in the stream you get a snapshot of each route at that pointin time, and also highlighting what has changed. But this is quite misleading as it only shows bits if they changed. In particular the FA / Set stuff isn't shown as a delta and it's really hard

Option 2) Old edit history page

https://www.thecrag.com/processmap/reviewdescriptionhistory/313798704

Basically useless for this use case as it doesn't show FA, or Names, aka's etc.

Option 3) Activity facet

https://www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/blue-mountains/perrys-lookdown/route/313798704/activity

Also doesn't show what actually changed, and it is also mixed with ticks and comments and you can't filter to just edits.

What you expected:

I think the simplest would be to just flesh out the stream items slightly so that it is a more full snapshot at the point in time. Specifically I think this means:

• [ ] If a history item was edited, show the markdown end state
• [ ] Show all FA history, not just what was changed
• [ ] Highlight in green / red if any FA's was added / removed or updated including names, dates, or FA notes
• [ ] Better show which primary name and aka names was edited including the green / red deltas

Even this won't be a perfect snapshot but at least this will make it easier to scan through the stream and see exactly how things have been added and removed for the non-markdown content.

@scd I had a go at this and have hotfixed a partial solution. I am now showing the diary markdown in the stream. There is a bug with it as it's not grabbing the latest version if you did 2+ edits and they get compressed into one stream event.

Another example. I just split a FA history that had combined two different FA's into two different FA records. But the stream only shows 1 FA record. It also doesn't show what I actually changed, so it is neither a snapshot of current state or a transactional change.
