Is there any news about  Special:WikiActivity ? The "Recent Changes" replacing "Special:WikiActivity" seems very badly received by non-tehcnical users ... Maybe a default filter of NAMESPACE (Main) + TALK mimicking the old "Activity" Button would mitigate the harsh "YEURK!!!!" reaction  the new  "Activity Button" linked page gets ... Some users feel it will VERY negatively impact participation in discussions by making it much harder for non-registered user to "follow" what's new on the Wiki ... The actual default filter makes it kind of hard for non-tech users to "infer" how to get the same intormation as before which I think I got from  (Main) + TALK NAMESPACES, &  500 Changes for the last 30 days ... It is far from the orginal WikiActivity but does include most of the info needed to "follow" discussions  & EDITS ...

Also mixing the "blog Preview" code  with  the  Talk pages  as source would produce a feature similar to WikiActicity that should be easy to maintain since it reuses  code that is already deployed ..
