Forum:RC view limit

As default, I view the last 999 edits on RecentChanges. This is so I can see every edit since my last, just typing "ILHI" into find and scrolling down past my name in the top right, every time someone's rolledback to my edit or left messages on my talk page until I get to my last edit.

Now it won't let me view anymore than 500.

There have been more than 500 edits since my last. There's no "next page" thing so how am I supposed to see every edit made on the wiki back until my last edit? ILHI 15:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Gee ! 999 ? If i go to more than 200 my browser get unstable.
 * Maybe you could get them all by the RSS feed ? — TulipVorlax 17:35, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Have you tried using various options to filter some things out? Like hide anon, or hide users? or any of the namespace filters. You may be able to "see" farther back. The other issue is that the data may not be there. The recent changes table does not hold all changes for every, its a rolling buffer, thats why its called "recent" changes. On some wikis, it may only go back a few days, yet on other more inactive wikis, i've seen it have months back. --Uberfuzzy 18:31, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I am forced to hide anon and minor edits (so, all of mine) to see back to my name. But 500 still isn't enough. 999, or indeed if I've missed a day, ~2000, is what I have always used to view all of the RecentChanges to make sure I don't miss anything I may want to see. Why does it limit itself to 500 now? It only started happening yesterday to my knowledge. ILHI 19:41, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Regardless of the size of links you can see, i know because i have patrol editing on my main wiki and you cant exceed it if i remember well its 1 month so if you have been abcent for more than 1 month those edits are lost for you to view, also as uberfuzzy says filtering edits will help you as that way you can see portions of your edits for example you could filter "(main)" so you only see main space edits and then use the extra filtering to see IP only or User only --
 * As I just mentioned above just right now, I want to see every edit and don't want to be forced to filter. I view the wiki I need the 999 limit for daily. The Final Fantasy Wiki gets more than 500 edits by the time I get off at ~23:00 until ~16:00 the next day. I try not to miss anything.
 * Of course, there are ways around it. I could look at just mainspace and every other namespace in two different monitorings until I'm up to date. I don't want to have to do this. Basically, I'm asking for this to get fixed so it works just like it did ~two days ago. I know it's possible, I've been using it for over a year. ILHI 19:41, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
