<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
[[File:M-en-recentchanges.png|thumb|370px|'''{{int|recentchanges}}''' shows the latest changes to pages, file uploads, deletions and page moves]]
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
MediaWiki offers a collection of special pages and tools to keep track of what is going on in the wiki. So you can watch for example:
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* recent changes to all pages
* the revision history: all changes made to one page
* the contributions of one specific user 
* newly created pages
</div>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The most interesting special page is '''[[Special:RecentChanges]]'''.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">This page displays all edits, file uploads, page moves, deletions and other actions done in the wiki.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The menu at the top offers a collection of links to customize your display: limit the number of changes or the number of days shown or restrict the display to show edits to a certain namespace only.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">You can also hide edits marked as minor (but don't forget that a change can be major even though the user flagged it as minor).</span>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
One line in the Recent Changes page consists of several links:
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* “{{lcfirst:{{int|diff}}}}” displays the difference from the previous revision of the page
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* “{{lcfirst:{{int|hist}}}}” links to the revision history of the page
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* the full title of the page links to the current version. If the page is on your [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist|watchlist]], the title appears in bold.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Next is a flag describing the page modification type:
</div>
* {{int|newpageletter}} – {{int|recentchanges-label-newpage}}
* {{int|minoreditletter}} – {{int|recentchanges-label-minor}}
* {{int|boteditletter}} – {{int|recentchanges-label-bot}}

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Following the timestamp, the page size difference from the previous revision appears.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Then the user is mentioned, with a link to either their [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:User page|user page]] and their [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Talk pages#User talk pages|talk page]] and contributions or (in the case of anonymous users) to their [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Talk pages#User talk pages|talk page]] only.</span>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
If the user submitted a summary when they made the edit, the summary appears in italics as the last link in the line.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Enhanced view ===
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">If you have JavaScript enabled, you can also try the "enhanced" view.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">To enable the enhanced view, go to your [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Preferences#Recent changes|Preferences]], then click the Recent Changes tab and select <code>{{int|tog-usenewrc}}</code>.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Selecting this option will cause the Recent Changes page to display edits grouped by page rather than being listed individually.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">You will now see entries like the following:</span>

<blockquote style="border:1px solid">
[[File:Arrow r.svg|link=]] 15:17 [[Main Page]] ({{int|nchanges|4}} | {{int|hist}}) .. (+236) .. [Some User‎ (2×); Some Other User (2×)]
</blockquote>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">To expand the record of that page's recent edits, click the blue arrow to the left of the timestamp and page name. The record of edits will be displayed as it appears in the normal view. You can turn this enhancement on and off at will, so feel free to try both to see which one you prefer.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Note that enabling Enhanced view will remove the leading links for ''diff'' and ''hist'', making patrolling more difficult.</span>
