WhyIsRecentChangesSoWierd

Most other Wiki's seem to use one of two RecentChanges strategies: There is the simple strategy where each page created or modified gets one record - If a page is modified twice in one day, it gets two records, and so on. There is the grouped strategy where changes are grouped by day, and only the latest change of a page on that day is shown (as on [Wiki.RecentChanges]).

Some sites have a variant of one or other of these strategies. DevToolsWiki? seems to have a variant of the simple strategy. The old Niki used to have an improved version of the grouped strategy, where all people who had changed a page on any given day were listed.

On this site, however, pages seem to slide from one day to another, and some changes seem never to appear at all (for example when a new XTC report appears, the base XTC page is shown as changed, but the new page never appears.

I would love to find out what the logic is behind the system used here, and why it is so different from other Wikis. --FrankCarver

Yeah, it does seem weird. Can you have a look at it Oli? --RichardEmerson

Please make a repeatable test script which fails where you'd like it to pass. --OliBye

OK. see XpdWikiUserStories

As a more concrete, although temporary, example. Why has XtC19101999 never appeared in RecentChanges? It definately exists, but its absence worries me that there are other pages which don't appear in RecentChanges. --FC

OliBye agrees that is odd also, however RecentChanges is a Wiki page somebody could have removed XtC19101999, stranger things have happened :-)

I would say this is a bug - we will look into it -- TimM
