Recent changes is a special page that lists recent changes in reverse order, with creation date and time, change in the page size, user who created the page, and edit summary. It also provides links to patrol these new edits when that feature is enabled.

This feature is accessible at Special:RecentChanges and is usually also linked on the sidebar menu to the left of the article section on all wiki pages. The page results are adjustable using settings the Preferences section "Recent changes".

Entries are grouped by date, and depending on user preferences, can be further grouped into collapsed sections by page. A typical single entry is shown below:

11:22 	Page name‎ (diff | hist) . . (+591)‎ . . Username (talk | contribs | block | points) (→‎Text of the edit summary, if supplied)

Adding a Recent Changes section to the main page

NOTE:
Prof hydra With the new authorization system in place since March 2017, the method below automatically logs out anyone visiting the Gamepedia page on which it is transcluded. A solution is being researched, but has not yet been found. In the interim, using the RSS feed is the suggested workaround.

This special page can be transcluded, with the first unnamed parameter specifying how many entries should be displayed.

{{Special:RecentChanges/50}}

Additional parameters may be used in a comma separated list such as:

{{Special:RecentChanges/days=5,limit=40}}
parameter value type description
days integer Maximum number of days to display
limit integer Maximum number of entries to display
hidebots Show/Hide bots
hideminor Show/Hide minor edits. Minor edits are changes which were saved with the "This is a minor edit" box checked.
hideliu Show/Hide registered users
hidepatrolled Show/Hide pages which have been patrolled.
hideanons Show/Hide anonymous users
hidemyself Show/Hide the logged in user's own changes
hidecategorization Show/Hide changes to categories

Recent changes as an RSS feed

First, add the URL to MediaWiki:Rss Whitelist, then insert the following line on the desired page section:

<rss max=5 - M-d-y">https://help.gamepedia.com/api.php?hidebots=1&hideminor=1&days=7&limit=10&action=feedrecentchanges&namespace=6&feedformat=atom</rss>
