Therelated changes feature (found in the "Tools" menu of the desktop version) lists all recent changes in pages linking to or transcluding the current page, or to which the current page has a link or is transcluding. The page name can also be entered atSpecial:RecentChangesLinked, or specified in a link likeSpecial:RecentChangesLinked/Apollo.

Choose between "Show changes on pages linked from" and "Show changes on pages linking to" at top of related changes.

As inRecent Changes andEnhanced Recent Changes,watched pages are bolded.

This feature can be used to set up custom watchlist-like functionality. It behaves like a watchlist, which would contain every page to which the current page linked. However, Related Changes do not automatically include talk pages; for the talk pages to be automatically included, the page to which Related Changes is applied has to link to these pages. SeeHelp:Public watchlist for details.

For registered users, theRecent changes tab ofSpecial:Preferences has several options which affect both Recent changes and Related changes.

A maximum age and number of edits can be chosen, up to 30 days and 1000 edits. The default is 7 days and 50 edits. It can also be changed in the right side of a currently viewed Related changes page.

"Hideminor edits from recent changes" can be set.

• For links to redirects, only a change in theredirect is given, not a change in the target article. In this regard, a direct link to the target article is superior.
• Changes to used files and their file pages are not shown if the file is hosted atWikimedia Commons.
• When applying the feature to asubpage, the automatic link to the parent page is ignored, i.e., changes in the parent page are not listed unless there is also an explicit link.
