I've found RecentChanges of little use in my two intense weeks of watching wiki. Instead, I have written a half dozen new tools and hacked wiki to support them. Most of these tools are way too expensive in system resources to make generally available. However, I will be constructing from them a fully automatic replacement for RecentChanges. Here is a preview. * http:RecentChanges The numbers shown for a page are the page length deltas running back a day or two. These might become icons (images) or something but for now I'm leaving them as numbers because I see NewRecentChangesPatterns in them. -- WardCunningham Most of these numbers are links to HistDiff or QuickDiff for the page concerned. The RecentPosts function may show additional deltas. See RecentChangesRss for an RSS feed of this information. ---- http:RecentChanges?days=.00002 (1 sec) [truly hopeless RecentChangesJunkie] http:RecentChanges?days=.0105 (15 min) http:RecentChanges?days=.0417 (1 hr) http:RecentChanges?days=.25 (6 hrs) http:RecentChanges (12 hrs) http:RecentChanges?days=1 (24 hrs) http:RecentChanges?days=3 (3 days) [the maximum currently processed] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - '''"del" option''', shows "ALL" deleted pages.
