message: G'day, I do frequent the recent changes page a fair bit but am always manually checking if the listed edits have a [rollback] tag as around 90%+ edits that are not the most recent are because they have already been reverted / resolved. Can this become an actual function to enable to hide non-current edits?  I feel it would be useful for other edittors without Rollback permissions or another alternative —  IVORK Discuss 04:29, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: @ 👤U Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but is there not already a check box to only show "Latest Revision" down below the Minor edit filter? Back in 2018 when IVORK made that request it was probably not a thing, but it's there now (and, yes, it's very useful). Matt Deres (talk) 13:38, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Adding a tickbox to only show the edits that are the most recent 

message: I've been monitoring Recent Changes for some time now, and I would really welcome not having to right-click either 'diff' or 'hist' each time to get the results to display in a new tab.  A simple mouse click ought to do it. It seems very unlikely that editors reviewing Recent Changes would want to intentionally leave that page, only to return and wait for their settings to reload after each check. So a simple click to open either a new tab or a new widow would be a very welcome enhancement to the interface. Nick Moyes (talk) 23:09, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to add, that for mobile users the problem is terrible. For the last 18 months (since I first posted this) I've been predominantly editing via a mobile or a tablet. There's obviously no mouse on a mobile, and trying to tap the correct link on a tiny screen often results in the wrong change being selected, and having to go back and reload RecentChanges every single time basically stops me wanting to contribute to anti-vandalism whilst away from my home PC.

message: This change (Special:Diff/565539355) makes the interwiki links disappears because the special page has no items on the wikidata. Manual interwiki links shouldn't be deleted, also, I've tested it at idwiki here. --Hidayatsrf (talk) 04:24, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:BRD, phase 3.  I don't think this is necessary, we don't put interwiki links on any of our other Special pages (e.g. Special:Watchlist, Special:NewPages), Special:Log) so don't really need these here either. — xaosflux Talk 14:07, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Interwiki (at Wikidata) not available for special page 

message: It's been a while since I've done recent changes patrol and I love the new filtering mechanism, but I have a question and a couple of requests:
* Sometimes, I don't see the options regarding User Intent Predictions.  The Contribution Quality, User Reg, and other options are always there (AFAICT), but the User Intent section seems to come and go. Any idea why that would be? The issue persists even if I clear my filter preferences.
* First request: would it be possible to allow for expanding the number of returns or going back further in time? At times, I'll get "caught up" to the 50 diffs that show and there's no way for me to go back any further other than changing the filters, which somewhat defeats the purpose of the filters. Even just showing 100 or 150 instead of 50 would be great.
* Second request: I really like the predictive filters and they seem to work pretty well, but there's another angle to finding vandalism and that is the fact that some topics are higher targets for what I'll call "Casual vandalism". These are not typically the targets of dedicated vandals, but the stuff that kids tend to mess around with. The ones that immediately come to mind are schools, dates, and towns. Everyone likes adding their friend's name as "greatest sex machine". I know our categories are maybe not perfect, but is there a way we could use them to establish a filter regarding how likely the topic of the article is as a target of poor edits?
Just some suggestions; the tool is already much better than the ones I used previously; I really appreciate all the work that surely went into it. Please PING me with any replies. Matt Deres (talk) 17:24, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: - as far as I know, you can modify the number & timespan of edits to display by clicking the button on the far right of the screen that says X changes, X days. — MrConorAE (👤U | 💬T | 📝C) 19:46, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Filter options changes 

message: Sometimes, certain categories of filters do not show up when I open the recent changes page. It seems to affect the "Contribution quality predictions" and "User intent predictions" most often. Refreshing my browser's cache does not resolve the issue, but it does go away on its own. Has anyone else experienced this?

thread_title:  Filters sometimes do not appear 

message: Possible I've missed it but is there a way to filter redirects from appearing when one hopes to look at newly created articles? If there's not an explicit way to do so, is there a workaround, like only seeing page creations above a certain size? Thanks! — Mainly 15:55, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: if we were going to go back to mediawiki default, we wouldn't hard code that here. That being said, I don't think that is an improvement. So now we're at WP:BRD step 3, feel free to continue discussing below - if a consensus emerges for a change, reactivate the edit request above. — xaosflux Talk 15:00, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Interface protected edit request on 31 May 2022 

message: Generally speaking, the first two filters at the top of the list are regarding quality (good versus problematic) and intention (good faith versus bad). However, sometimes when I check RC, the intention options are not available. Why is this? Matt Deres (talk) 20:45, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
