Extension:TransformChanges

I've found the format of the recent changes and watchlists to be difficult to read and generally unpleasent looking, so I've made a quick extension to reformat them from a bullet list into a table. It also adds CSS classes to the table, rows and columns for easy customisation of styles.

The Enhanced recent changes user option is deactivated by this extension.

Installation
Save the code from OrganicDesign:Extension:TransformChanges.php into a file and include in your LocalSettings.php file as usual.

CSS Styles
To make it render properly some CSS styles should be added to your stylesheet (usually your MediaWiki:Common.css article), for example here's the styles that we've added on the Organic Design recent changes. See Manual:Interface/Stylesheets for more details about adding CSS rules to your wiki.
