Ye can skauk eedits maurkt aes wee ava (bit mynd that ae chynge can be muckle even thooch the uiser flagged it aes wee).
 * recynt chynges til aw pages
 * the luikower histerie: aw chynges dun til the ae page
 * the contreebutions o yin speceefeec uiser
 * newly cræftit pages

One line in the Recent Changes page consists of several links:
 * “” displays the difference from the previous revision of the page
 * “” links to the revision history of the page
 * the full title of the page links to the current version. If the page is on your watchlist, the title appears in bold.

Next is a flag describing the page modification type:
 * “” denotes a new page
 * “” denotes a minor edit
 * “” denotes an edit made by a bot

Following the timestamp, the page size difference from the previous revision appears. Then the user is mentioned, with a link to either their user page and their talk page and contributions or (in the case of anonymous users) to their talk page only.

If the user submitted a summary when they made the edit, the summary appears in italics as the last link in the line.

Enhanced view
If you are logged in and have JavaScript enabled, you can also try the "enhanced" view. To enable the enhanced view, go to your Preferences, then click the Recent Changes tab and select "". Selecting this option will cause the Recent Changes page to display edits grouped by page rather than being listed individually. You will now see entries like the following:  15:17 Main Page ( | ) .. (+236) .. [Some User‎ (2×); Some Other User (2×)] To expand the record of that page's recent edits, click the blue arrow to the left of the timestamp and page name. The record of edits will be displayed as it appears in the normal view. You can turn this enhancement on and off at will, so feel free to try both to see which one you prefer.
