Help talk:Recent changes

Typo
This page is "recent changes"... but the first paragraph is talking about "Recent pages". I'd take a stab at correcting it, but this page has too much visibility.
 * Good observation. I just fixed it. Cheers. --Lorikeet 23:30, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Show last changes of a specific namespace
Hello, i want to show on my mainpage the last 5 changes of the namespace 106. What is the parameter for the namespace? I tried didn't work.. Thx for your help!

More support on meta
The main documentation page for this concept is at meta:Help:Recent changes. These should be synced eventually.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)   14:50, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Recent changes in a category
Hello,

Is there a way to only list recent changes in a category? It seems it could (I can see a related setting Manual:$wgAllowCategorizedRecentChanges).

The Extension:Dynamic_Article_List extension which used to do the same thing seems to be obsolete for MW 1.26 already.

Thanks Petr


 * It's called Special:RelatedChanges, see Help:Related changes. Nemo 14:50, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Nemo. Actually the Related pages seems to search on linked pages/namespaces. Nevertheless, the out-of-the-box "Special:RecentChanges" page has the filter for categories (the "Limit to categories (separate with "|"):") textbox but I get an error when filling out a category name (works fine if blank): Fatal error: Call to a member function numRows on array in \includes\specialpage\ChangesListSpecialPage.php on line 345

Tried to fix by doing count on the array instead, but there's more to do (could be fixed by doing count on the array, and by removing free altogether):
 * PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function numRows on array in ...\qawiki\includes\specialpage\ChangesListSpecialPage.php on line 345
 * PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function numRows on array in ...\qawiki\includes\specials\SpecialRecentchanges.php on line 364
 * PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function free on array in ...\qawiki\includes\specialpage\ChangesListSpecialPage.php on line 79

(We're on MW 1.26.2, PHP 5.6.21.)


 * Are you sure you run update.php? No idea what you mean by "Actually the Related pages seems to search on linked pages/namespaces", perhaps an example shows better. Nemo 11:19, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
