Help:Enhanced recent changes

Instead of the classic Recent Changes, you can set your preferences to use the enhanced recent changes feature which relies on JavaScript.

It groups recent changes per day, where "day" is defined according to local time. For each day, it groups the changes for each article, and displays the titles of the changed articles in order from new to old latest change of the day concerned, or in the case of hiding minor edits, latest major change.

Using it
This feature is especially useful if many edits are likely to occur to a single article over the course of a day, as that article will only show once on the list, with all changes to it grouped together.

You can switch it on either via the "Recent changes" tab of Special:Preferences (Help:Preferences), or via a link on the Special:RecentChanges page itself.

The setting also applies to Related changes and the enhanced watchlist. The latter is simply a selection of the enhanced recent changes, namely a restriction to watched pages, without the bolding.
