The extension [1] changes the RC view so that any changed article is only 
listed *once*.

Are you aware that Preferences has an option to do something similar?

Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist (requires JavaScript)

Yes, I do know this. I have the discussion since 2004 when I joined the
MediaWiki developer team

This Javascript thing you mean does it differently:

- all RC versions are sent from the server to the client, which costs
the full bandwidth.
- and, worse, changed pages are listed at least still once per day when
a change happened.


My extension shows only one entry per changed pages,
and sends really only the last change to the client.

[Wikitech-l] New extension: OnlyRecentRecentChanges

2013-08-09 Thread Thomas Gries
The extension [1] changes the RC view so that any changed article is
only listed *once*.

A new *option* on the preferences Recent changes tab is added which
allows users to have

- each change (default) or
- only the most recent change per changed page

shown in the RC list.

Code on GitHub, see [1]
(request for MW extension repo is filed on
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/New_repositories/Requests )
