User blog comment:Kirkburn/Finding the latest activity on your wiki just got simpler!/@comment-20644-20091104192444

@Kagimizu - no, there’s no way to get the old Latest Activity feed up. It has been replaced by this new one.

@Anne - MyHome is on Star Wars Fanon (the wiki I’m typically active on), but there’s just a code used to basically suppress it. It redirects MyHome to the main page for everyone, regardless of what their preferences are set at. We did that because we felt having users directed to MyHome by default, unless they changed that in their preferences, just wasn't a good idea and conflicted with how we wanted our wiki to operate.

@Alpheta - unless your entire wiki wants to get rid of MyHome, you can disable the automatic redirect to it from your preferences. You can’t fully get rid of it without that code, though, but that’d need to go through your community so they can say yes or no to getting rid of it.

Also, as Anne said, the old recent changes widget is there. What’s not there is the old Latest Activity widget. Well, technically it is there, but it’s been updated. It’s now this new one. I’d very much like it if the old version of the Latest Activity widget could be brought back in a separate widget, and then users could choose if they wanted that version or this new larger and expanded version. I’d personally rather have the former. I’m not 80 years old so I don’t need giant text like that. =P
