Extension:Newest Pages

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.

Installation

 * 1) Download the files from SVN or download a snapshot. Choose the version that matches your version of MediaWiki.
 * 2) Create a directory   in your   directory.
 * 3) Extract the files to this   directory.
 * 4) Add to the end of LocalSettings.php:
 * 5) Installation can now be verified through Special:Version on your wiki
