works great on 3.8 vb and 1.13.3 wiki with 3.1.0 vba

Thanks for the confirmation Optrex

Thanks for this mod.

I've modified your SQL query into this:

$query = "SELECT o.rc_title, o.rc_user_text, o.rc_new, o.rc_namespace, o.rc_timestamp FROM " . $prefix . "recentchanges o, (SELECT max(rc_timestamp) as xtimestamp, rc_title, rc_namespace FROM " . $prefix . "recentchanges WHERE ABS(rc_old_len - rc_new_len) > 20 AND rc_namespace IN (0,2,6,14) GROUP BY rc_title, rc_namespace) n WHERE o.rc_title = n.rc_title AND o.rc_namespace = n.rc_namespace AND o.rc_timestamp = n.xtimestamp ORDER BY rc_timestamp DESC LIMIT " . $results;

Improvements:

• Namespace filtering is done in the nested SELECT
• Articles with same titles but in different namespaces are not lumped together ("Category:Vehicles" and "Vehicles" are two different articles, are they not?)
• filter out minute changes (detected by difference in articles length -- ABS(rc_old_len - rc_new_len) > 20 -- change 20 to minimum length difference)

.. and here is how I made the output list into more than one column:

Make sure you set the $results variable to be a multiple of the $columns (e.g. if $columns = 3 then $results = 3 or 6 or 9 or 12 or 15 etc

Sample @ http://www.recom.org/

Recom, could you share that file? I have no idea at what line your code has to be implemented and what has to be removed. I did change the sql, which did not result in any errors.

Never mind me, I am daft.

Just as a note, works fine on 3.8.4, using MediaWiki 1.15.1.

Thank you for the mod :)

Glad that worked out for ya...and yes I'm still watching. :)
