[opensuse-wiki] "Related Changes"
The toolbar on the left of the English language wiki says "Related Changes". I think it should be "Recent Changes". -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

"Recent Changes" is generally reserved (in MediaWiki) for Special:Recentchanges page, though the openSUSE.org wiki has disabled that. "Related Changes" appears in the Toolbox which isn't meant to be configurable (though of course you could just hack/edit the source). Could be done but it may cause confusion, as "Related" changes makes it more clear that it refers to only changes on that page, while a "Recent Changes" link on the main page would imply changes to anywhere on the wiki.

Except that, as you say, "Recent Changes" is standard terminology. Personally, I wasn't clear at all what "Related Changes" meant at all. I'd rather see a "Recent Changes" that applied only to the area you were in (and not the more general entire wiki changes), than the unfamiliar "Related Changes" nomenclature. -- Jonathan Arnold http://www.buddydog.org “If there is something that appears to lie beyond the natural world as it is now imperfectly understood, we hope eventually to understand it and embrace it within the natural.
