In the current implementation, coordinates to colour the tiles are taken 
from the minutely/hourly diffs. Coordinates are only listed for modified 
nodes. This means that any change without changing nodes isn't shown in 
whodidit.

It might be worth considering to use augmented diffs
    https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Augmented_Diffs
However, it is not immediately clear which tiles to colour when changing 
the tags of a very long way and/or modifying a relation …

Cheers,
Simon
