Recent Changes is a special wiki page where users like you can see all the most recent edits within a given time frame, as well as monitor and review the latest contributions, to discover and correct mistakes and to spot and revert vandalism. For a more detailed description, see the recent changes help page of MediaWiki.

Options can be set to filter and display recent changes according to the preferred criteria (present at the top of the recent changes page, containing three sections: "This page", "Utilities" and "About us"). The available filters are featured articles, living people, new editors' contribs, IPs' contribs, mobile contribs and by namespace. It can also be filtered according to tags by typing in the specific one, such as "Visual edit", "large plot addition" or "blanking", etc.

Most (although not all) bot edits should be marked with the bot flag and be hidden by default (if enabled, they will be marked with a b in the recent changes logs and in watchlists). If you see a bot edit that shouldn't appear in the recent change logs or your watchlist, please report it to the bot operator per UN:BOTISSUE.

Recent Changes is accessed from the Interaction Menu on Undyclopedia's sidebar (displayed on the left side of the screen), or just by typing "Special:RecentChanges" in the searchbar. However, there are also idiots like you who are too lazy to type the "Special" to RecentChanges, but apparently not lazy enough to just click the Interaction Menu. For such people, here's an annoyingly big clickable button that takes you straight to Special:RecentChanges.
