Help:Enhanced recent changes
The preferences can be set to use the enhanced recent changes feature instead of the classic recent changes. It groups recent changes per day by article, displays the titles of the changed articles in order from new to old latest change, or in the case of hiding minor edits, latest major change.
Multiple edits on the same day to a single article are grouped together on the recent changes screen. All the edits except for the most recent one are hidden, but can be revealed by clicking on the blue arrow next to the article. This option uses JavaScript, and won't work in every browser (see Browser notes).

The line shows:
- time (the date is not shown here, it is in a header)
- linked page
- the link cur to the last edit made (even in the case that an edit has been made after loading the enhanced recent changes, in which case it is not the edit shown. See below.)
- hist linking to the page history
- user, linked to his or her user page
- talk, linking to the user talk page
- edit summary
