Difference between revisions of "RecentChanges"

The recent edits that are made by people are shown in Special:Recentchanges. This basically is the page that shows the activity and some say, the health of a wiki.

People work on patrolling every edit, every day to make sure the wiki is of good quality. These folks are RecentChanges patrollers.

Just recently we have a new tool to more easily patrol the over ~1500 edits made each day.

Comments on the new RecentChanges tool

• The user page and associated talk pages appear to have content in them and should be empty links.
• DrewMyers: It's good in patrolling a page that has a ton of edits. Click on the (hist #) and you can call up full (diffs) and patrol them in a click.
• That's one of the drawbacks. If you see an edit, you can't patrol it. (What I do is skip over those, do a few, then go to the traditional RC and edit the ones I set aside.)
  • I'm not sure what this means. You don't have to click on (hist) at all. Just click on (diff) and you get the total aggregate diff to then patrol all at once. VERY COOL! TedErnst | talk
• Something I don't like: When I click (rollback) from this page, I don't stay on the patrolling page, I go to the wikipage in question. Bummer. TedErnst | talk
