<!--T:1-->
'''Recent changes''' is a [[<tvar name=special-pages>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Special page</tvar>|special page]] that lists recent changes in reverse order, with change date and time, change in the page size, user who created the page, and [[<tvar name=edit-summary>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit summary</tvar>|edit summary]]. It also provides links to [[<tvar name=patrolled-edits>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Patrolled edits</tvar>|patrol]] these new edits when that feature is enabled.

<!--T:2-->
This feature is accessible at <tvar name=spec-rc>[[Special:RecentChanges]]</tvar>. The page results are adjustable using settings in the [[<tvar name=prefs-rc>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Preferences#Recent_changes</tvar>|Preferences section "Recent changes"]].

<!--T:38-->
You can choose which Recent Changes you want to display. [[<tvar name=filters>Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review</tvar>|You can combine different kinds of filters]] to display the results you want.

== Transclusions == <!--T:40-->

<!--T:3-->
This special page can be [[<tvar name=transclusion>Special:MyLanguage/Help:transclusion</tvar>|transcluded]], with the first unnamed parameter specifying how many entries should be displayed.
</translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="mediawiki">
{{Special:RecentChanges/50}}
</syntaxhighlight >

<translate>
<!--T:21-->
A wiki can be configured with aliases for the namespace "Special" and the title "Recent changes", and those localized versions can be used instead of the canonical ones.

<!--T:4-->
Additional parameters may be used in a comma separated list such as:
</translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="mediawiki">
{{Special:RecentChanges/days=5,limit=40,hidebots,hideminor}}
</syntaxhighlight>

<translate>
<!--T:22-->
Even if a wiki is configured with aliases for the namespace and title, it is not possible to use localized parameters.

== Interface == <!--T:43-->
</translate>
[[{{lm|Help-RecentChanges|png}}|800px|thumb|none|]]
<translate>
<!--T:44-->
The interface consists of two main parts: 
</translate>
* <translate><!--T:45--> At the top are the {{<tvar name="1">ll|Help:New filters for edit review</tvar>|filters}}, which help you sort through edits.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:46--> Below that is the list of recent changes.</translate>
<translate>
=== The filters === <!--T:47-->
</translate>

{{#section:Help:New filters for edit review{{#translation:}}|main}}
<translate>
=== The list of recent changes === <!--T:48-->

<!--T:49-->
When using the default {{<tvar name="1">ll|Help:Preferences</tvar>|preferences}} configuration, most of the page displays 50 lines, each representing an edit, arranged for left-to-right language wikis.

<!--T:50-->
Below are examples of recent changes.

==== Understand the list ==== <!--T:51-->

<!--T:52-->
This shows 2 edits: the first by an administrator who is logged in, to the <tvar name=1>{{ll|Manual:$wgContentNamespaces}}</tvar> page; the second by an un-registered user to the <tvar name=2>[[Reporting security bugs/pt-br]]</tvar> page.

<!--T:53-->
From left to right:
</translate>

* <translate><!--T:54--> The "<tvar name="1">[[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Diff|diff]]</tvar>" link takes you to the changes made in that edit; it's not available for new pages or page moves.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:55--> The "<tvar name="1">{{int|hist}}</tvar>" link leads to the page's history, showing all edits, including older and newer ones.</translate> <translate><!--T:56--> For page moves, it shows the history of the new page title.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:57--> A bold '''<tvar name="1">{{int|minoreditletter}}</tvar>''' indicates the user considered the edit "minor".</translate> <translate><!--T:58--> Only users with the <tvar name="1"><code>minoredit</code></tvar> right (usually logged-in users) can mark edits as minor to prevent misuse.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:59--> A bold '''<tvar name="1">{{int|newpageletter}}</tvar>''' shows the page is "new," meaning it didn't exist before.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:60--> The use of a bold '''<tvar name="1">{{int|boteditletter}}</tvar>''' indicates edits made by a bot or hidden by an admin.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:61--> Bold '''<tvar name="1">!</tvar>''' indicates unpatrolled pages.</translate> <translate><!--T:62--> See <tvar name="1">{{ll|Help:Patrolled edits}}</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:63--> <tvar name=2>{{ll|ORES}}</tvar> is a tool used on some wikis to flag potentially harmful edits, showing them with a red "<tvar name="1">{{int|ores-damaging-letter}}</tvar>" and a light yellow background.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:64--> A link to the current version of the page.</translate> <translate><!--T:65--> '''Bold''' indicates it's on your watchlist.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:66--> "<tvar name="1">07:07</tvar>" refers to UTC time.</translate> <translate><!--T:67--> You can adjust it to your time zone in {{<tvar name="1">ll|Help:Preferences</tvar>|preferences}}.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:68--> (-35) Changes in bytes are shown as a green plus (<tvar name="1">+</tvar>) sign for additions and a red minus (<tvar name="2">-</tvar>) sign for removals.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:69--> Bold numbers highlight changes of more than 500 bytes.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:70--> For logged-in users, a link to their userpage is provided.</translate> <translate><!--T:71--> For others, it's their User Contributions.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:72--> A link to the user's talk page is included.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:73--> For page moves, both the old and new titles are linked.</translate>

<translate><!--T:74--> Recent changes can display up to 500 edits, or <tvar name=1>{{formatnum:5000}}</tvar> if the URL is modified.</translate> 
<translate><!--T:75--> Regardless of what filters are used, it cannot display edits older than <tvar name="1">{{wg|RCMaxAge}}</tvar> (90 days by default, 30 days in Wikimedia wikis).</translate>

<translate>
== Page moves and deletions == <!--T:76-->

<!--T:77-->
Once a page has been renamed (moved), previous edits and the initial creation of the page appear in recent changes under the new name.

<!--T:78-->
Once a page is deleted, previous edits and the initial creation of the page are no longer visible in recent changes or similar logs.

== Edits made by bots == <!--T:79-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:80--> Bots can appear in recent changes if you include <tvar name="1"><code>&hidebots=0"</code></tvar> in the URL.</translate>
<translate><!--T:81--> Sysops can label certain edits as bot edits, so they won't appear in the usual recent changes.</translate>
<translate><!--T:82--> See <tvar name="1">{{ll|Help:Reverting}}</tvar> for more details.</translate>

<translate>
== Advanced features == <!--T:83-->

=== Hide the filters === <!--T:84-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:85--> Users can choose not to use the filters by clicking "<tvar name="1">{{int|hide}}</tvar>" on the filters panel.</translate>
<translate><!--T:86--> Users can opt out of the new filters by going to the "<tvar name="1">{{int|prefs-advancedrc}}</tvar>" section at the bottom of <tvar name=3>[[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rc|Special:Preferences]]</tvar> on the wikis they are active on and selecting "<tvar name="2">{{int|rcfilters-preference-label}}</tvar>".</translate>

<translate><!--T:98--> The {{<tvar name=1>ll|Help:Recent changes/Configuration without October 2017 filters</tvar>|old configuration documentation}} is available for users.</translate>

<translate>
=== Web feed === <!--T:87-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:88--> To get [[w:web feeds|web feeds]] ([[w:RSS|RSS]] and [[w:Atom_(web_standard)|Atom]]) for a wiki's recent changes, add "<tvar name="1">[https://mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=rss &feed=rss]</tvar>" or "<tvar name="2">[http://mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=atom &feed=atom]</tvar>" to the URL of the recent changes page.</translate>
<translate><!--T:89--> This shows the {{<tvar name="1">ll|Help:Diff</tvar>|differences}} for several edits, each with a link to the current page.</translate>
<translate><!--T:90--> Some browsers may offer options like sorting by author.</translate>
<translate><!--T:91--> See also [[w:Wikipedia:Syndication|Syndication]] for more details.</translate>

<translate>
== Differences from page history == <!--T:92-->

<!--T:93-->
Each line in the {{<tvar name="1">ll|Help:Page history</tvar>|page history}} represents a single change made to the page and the version that resulted from it.
</translate>

* <translate><!--T:94--> "<tvar name="1">{{int|last}}</tvar>" is similar to "<tvar name="2">{{int|diff}}</tvar>" mentioned earlier.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:95--> "<tvar name="1">{{int|cur}}</tvar>" shows the changes between this version and the latest one, including all edits made afterward, even those not listed in this revision history because they happened after loading this page.</translate>

<translate>
<!--T:96-->
The "<tvar name="1">{{int|cur}}</tvar>" and "<tvar name="2">{{int|last}}</tvar>" features resemble those in the {{<tvar name="3">ll|Help:New filters for edit review</tvar>|improved recent changes}}, except for the "<tvar name="4">{{int|cur}}</tvar>" in the initial line: it isn't linked in the revision history, unlike in the improved recent changes where it shows the changes from the last edit.

<!--T:97-->
See  [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit summary#Places_where_the_edit_summary_appears</tvar>|Places where the edit summary appears]].
