Forum:Recent Changes Alterations

So basically this is two projects in one.

Project One is to implement an overhaul of the Recent Changes Text. Other wikis have helpful links there while ours is quite bland and as far as I can tell, hasn't been changed since the wiki was started. What I have worked on is here. What this adds is some useful links for users and admins alike to help with navigation, looking things up, assisting with projects, and a few other things. I'm hopeful that this will be a positive addition and looking forward to comments, removals, or additions.

Project Two is to implement the AJAX feature for the Recent Changes. I have done my research on it, and seen this on a number of wikis, and I believe this will only be a help to people here as they monitor the wiki and what not. This feature can be modified to refresh for any number of time. The default is 60 seconds, but that can be modified to be shorter or longer. What's even better is this feature is entirely optional and is activated by a checkbox on the RC page. You don't want to use it, then you don't have to. All you need to do is either check or uncheck the box and that is it.

I'll have two sections open below for each feature and get opinions about it. So your thoughts and opinions are welcome on each one. Lancer1289 01:07, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
