--- Comment #18 from Erik Moeller <[email protected]> ---
To be honest, I'm not convinced that the way this has been introduced
represents an improvement.

1) The extension itself clearly still needs UX love. The filter UI is already
cluttered, labels like "Users (Sep: |)" and confusing icon choices (magnify
icon to expand links) don't help.

2) RecentChanges is a core feature. New extensions/features need to tie into it
all the time. Maintaining an extension for some subset of wikis that choose it
and ensuring its compatibility with all future code strikes me as needless
complication of our core UI.

In other words, if these improvements are worthwhile (and I'm not disputing
they are! Credit to Niklas and the translatewiki.net folks for fixing issues in
their workflow), I would argue that they should be made in MediaWiki core, and
consistently applied across all wikis, ideally after some more UX attention.
