The Newest Pages extension provides a flexible dual-use special page which lists the most recently created pages on the wiki. This code doesn't use the recentchanges table, and so items do not expire, as with Special:Newpages.

[edit] Usage
The list can be accessed as a conventional special page, or through inclusion into another page.
[edit] Special page
The special page is located at Special:Newestpages and provides a full interface to filter according to namespace, limit the number of results, and toggle the inclusion of redirect pages.
[edit] Inclusion
You can include a list of pages into another page using the inclusion mechanism, e.g.
{{Special:Newestpages/User}}
will produce a list of the newest pages in the User namespace.
To select the main namespace, use - as the namespace name, e.g.
{{Special:Newestpages/-}}
To select all namespaces, use all as the namespace name, e.g.
{{Special:Newestpages/all}}
You can also limit the number of results listed, e.g.
{{Special:Newestpages/-/5}}
will produce a list of (at most) the five newest articles.
