== Understanding Recent Changes ==
With the default [[HelpOrthodoxWiki:PreferencesUser preferences help|preferences]], the bulk of the page consists of fifty lines, one for each edit, looking like this:
* ([[Main Page|diff]]) ([[Main Page|hist]]) . . [[Editing mathematical formulae]]; 10:06 . . [[Main Page|128.214.14.50]] ([[User talk:128.214.14.50|Talk]]) ''(Add examples)''
* (diff) ([[Main Page|hist]]) . . '''N''' [[User's Guide]]; 10:06 . . [[User:Brion VIBBER|Brion VIBBER]] ([[User talk:Brion VIBBER|Talk]]) ''(New page)''
== Preferences ==
Logged in users can set preferences to adjust the way that Recent Changes looks. For help in doing this, see [[HelpOrthodoxWiki:PreferencesUser preferences help|how to set preferences]]. The options that affect recent changes are:
* '''Hide minor edits in recent changes''' - this hides all edits that have been marked as minor by logged in users;
* '''Enhanced Recent Changes''' - with this option enabled, multiple edits are grouped together. This option uses [[enw:JavaScript|JavaScript]], and won't work in every browser (see [[Meta:Browser issues with MediaWiki]]). See [[MediaWiki User's GuideMeta:Help: The enhanced Recent Changes pageEnhanced recent changes]]
* '''Number of recent changes'''. You may select the number of changes which will be shown by default on the Recent Changes page. Once on that page, links are provided for other options. In the case of Enhanced Recent Changes this number of changes includes those that are initially hidden.
The "cur" and "last" features are similar to those in [[meta:Browser issues with MediaWiki|Enhanced Recent Changes]], except for "cur" in the first line: it is not linked in the revision history, while in the Enhanced Recent Changes it gives the differences corresponding to the last edit; just after loading the revision history this is the same as the "cur" link of the second line gives, but if there have been edits after loading it is different.
