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.)
