Possible errors

Code Info
rcshow Incorrect parameter - mutually exclusive values may not be supplied.
rcpermissiondenied You need the patrol or patrolmarks right to request the patrolled flag.

Parameter history

  • v1.24: Deprecated rctoken
  • v1.15: Removed rctitles
  • v1.14: Introduced rctitles
  • v1.13: Introduced loginfo

Additional notes

  • Many log actions can be viewed using this module excluding patrol actions as they are not present in the recentchanges table.
  • The timestamp to start listing from may not be more than $wgRCMaxAge into the past, which on Wikimedia wikis is 30 days.
  • New changes may be inserted to the recentchanges table slightly out of order with respect to their timestamp. Thus, when requesting the most recent changes twice in a row, the second response may contain new changes inserted a few seconds before the most recent one in the first response. If you repeatedly call this module to get a stream a recent change, consider adding some overlap between requests to not miss any changes.
  • This module can be used as a generator.
  • This module is implemented by ApiQueryRecentChanges.php.
