The '''[[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]]''' page allows you to see the most recent edits made to pages on OrthodoxWiki. Using this page, users can monitor and review the work of other users, allowing mistakes to be corrected and [[OrthodoxWiki:Vandalism|vandalism ]] to be eliminated. For many of our users, this becomes the primary entry page into OrthodoxWiki. (A list of changes is also available via [[Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss|RSS]] or [[Special:Recentchanges&feed=atom|Atom]] feeds. <!--A RSS feed of recent changes is available here]]. ---> There is a link to the Recent Changes page at the top of each page and in the sidebar of each page. You can also create a link to the page as <nowiki>[[Special:Recentchanges]]</nowiki>.
== Understanding Recent Changes ==
*newly created pages (use "Newly created articles", then view the current version, or, if desired, also the revision history).
*individual pages (use "Revision history") and individual users (use "User contributions" in combination with "Revision history").
*namespace filter in the "Recent changes" (since [[meta:MediaWiki 1.5|MediaWiki 1.5]]) lets users see recent changes for the given namespace.
See also below.
==Bots==
Bots can be hidden from recent changes by adding <tt>&hidebots=0</tt> to the url. It is possible for sysops to mark some edits as bot edits, thereby preventing them displaying in the default recent changes. See [[en:Wikipedia:revert]] for more information on this.
== Patrolling edits ==
*the date and time link to the version of that day and time, except that in the first line, which is about the latest edit at the time of loading this revision history, the date and time link to the current version, hence with the changes made after this revision history was loaded;
The "cur" and "last" features are similar to those in [[meta:Browser issues with MediaWiki User's Guide: The enhanced Recent Changes page|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.
