====== Recent changes ======

DokuWiki provides a special page, that shows a list of pages in the wiki that were changed recently. Recent changes page lists following records for each relevant page: 

  * the modification time
  * which user changed it
  * the edit [[summary]]

It also provides links to the [[diff|page diffs]] and the list of [[attic|older revisions]] of each page.

:!: Only the most recent change for each page is listed, regardless of how many times that page was changed.

In the default [[:Template|template]] you can reach this page by clicking on the button labeled "Recent changes" in the header below the [[search]] field.  It can also be reached using the shortcut key combination ''ALT+R''.((For more DokuWiki shortcut keys, see [[accesskeys]].))

The URL that the button and shortcut key direct to is ''/?do=recent''.  The info displayed on this page is read from the [[devel:changelog]].

===== Difference between recent changes and old revisions =====

The ''recent changes'' feature lists the changes performed on //all// pages (in the wiki).

The ''old revisions'' button lists changes to the page from which it is invoked.

===== Information for Administrators =====

  * the number of changes shown per page is controlled by the [[config:recent]] setting.
  * the maximum age of changes kept is controlled by the [[config:recent_days]] setting (excepting that changes aren't discarded if there are less than one page of changes (per [[config:recent]] setting)).
  * users are only shown pages to which they have read access (see [[acl]]).
