How can I see over 500 recent changes to MediaWiki?
I would like to see over 500 recent changes to the MediaWiki installation (via Special:RecentChanges
). According to this stream this limit is hardcoded inincludes/specials/SpecialRecentchanges.php
.
I don't want to mess with the core of MediaWiki , is there a way to get over 500 changes unchanged SpecialRecentChanges.php
?
If the only way to achieve this is to change SpecialRecentChanges.php
, is it enough to increase this number and what are the possible side effects?

You can change the suggested values using the $ wgRCLinkLimits parameter , for example. with the value $wgRCLinkLimits = array( 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 );
in your LocalSettings.php.
As you saw, there is a hardcoded limit in include / specials / SpecialRecentchanges.php; it was 500 before MediaWiki 1.16 and it is 5000 since then (MediaWiki 1.16 was released in 2010 and is no longer supported) and it is impossible to display more entries than this number (without the MediaWiki fix).
