Help:Related changes

portugues

The "Related changes" feature lists all recent changes (before MediaWiki 1.5: only the last) in each page linked to from the specified page, or all recent changes in each page with a link to the specified page.

Details
The number of pages listed is specified in the preferences. However, the entries come from the  table and are therefore restricted to edits not older than .

Like in  and , watching>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watching pages|watched pages are bolded.

Watchlist-like functionality
This feature can be used to set up custom-watchlist-like functionality. It behaves like a watchlist which would contain every page linked to from the current page. However, Related changes does not automatically include talk pages; to watch also the corresponding talk pages, links to them also have to be in the page on which Related changes is applied.

Options
The option "Hide minor edits" that can be set in the pref>Special:Preferences|preferences applies among other things to Related changes.

See also pref>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Preferences#Recent_changes|hide minor edits.

Caveats
Note that for a link to redirect, only a change in the redirect is given, not a change in the target article. In this regard a direct link to the target article is superior.

The "Related changes" feature neither lists changes in images or sound files nor in image description pages (regardless of which of the three linking methods (image, :image or media) is used).

When applying the feature to a link>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Link#Subpage feature|subpage, the automatic link to the parent page is ignored, i.e., changes in the parent page are not listed unless there is also an explicit link to it.
