Recent changes

[edit]

Raw feeds

[edit]
As a modern alternative, wikitech:EventStreams publishes recent changes in JSON format over HTTP.

These are live Recent changes feeds, hosted on the irc.wikimedia.org server, which show edits on the wiki automatically as they happen. The displayed URLs give the cumulative differences produced by the edit concerned and any subsequent edits; The time is not listed but timestamping may be provided by your IRC client. Confirmation that an edit has been processed is typically faster through IRC than through the browser.

Every one of the >730 Wikimedia wikis has an IRC RC feed. The channel name is #subdomain.domain. For example, the channel for German Wikibooks channel is #de.wikibooks, and the channel for Wikispecies is #species.wikimedia. Projects without subdomains are treated as if they were Wikipedia languages, e.g. #wikidata.wikipedia.

Filtered rc

[edit]

If you wanted to have a filtered feed of recent changes of some project, you can use WM bot for that. The bot can be controlled by anyone with Wikimedia or Miraheze cloak. It is possible to define a list of pages to watch, and the bot will then report the changes in simple format directly to the channel on Libera Chat, providing a link to the diff.

Abuse monitoring channels

[edit]

Abuse monitoring channels unofficially patrol edits to counter vandalism and other abuse on Wikimedia wikis. These usually contain IRC bots that list suspicious edits with information such as the editor, edit summary, size change, and diff link.

Most such channels are run by local operators with the technical assistance of the CVN staff; to contact the staff, request access to a restricted channel, or discuss wiki countervandalism, see #countervandalismconnect.
