To look back over all changes to all titles by everyone like Recent Change, you could write a JavaScript app to supply a range of revision IDs ("revids=...|...|...") to query "prop=revisions".

The revision ID is a mostly monotonic, but guaranteed unique, number to each wiki.

Then loop through all revision IDs over the time of interest. Some revisions will probably be to deleted articles, so you'd need to detect and skip them.

Alternatively, you can do it manually, e.g.,, and just increment the value of. If you plan to cover a year's worth of changes, it could be painful.
