The CleanChanges extension is based on enhanced changes list, but it tries to be more concise by hiding less important information by default. It needs JavaScript to be fully functional. It works best in wikis where the number of changes per user is high.

It also provides two extra filters: by user and by language code suffix.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted CleanChanges folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/CleanChanges
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'CleanChanges' );
  $wgDefaultUserOptions['usenewrc'] = 1;
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

Parameters provided

• $wgCCUserFilter - defaults to "true". It is needed to filter by user.
• $wgCCTrailerFilter - defaults to "false". It is needed to filter by language (code suffix).
• $wgCCFiltersOnly - defaults to "true". TODO: document what to do with it.
