SMN wikiware offers a collection of special pages and tools to keep track of what is going on in the wiki.
So you can watch, for example:

• recent changes to all pages
• the revision history of a page: all changes made to it
• the page changes by one specific user
• newly created pages

The most interesting special page is Special:RecentChanges. It displays all edits, file uploads, page moves, deletions and other actions done in the wiki. In the menu on top it offers a collection of links to customize your display: to limit the number of changes shown or the number of days, or to restrict the changes shown to edits to a certain namespace. You can also hide edits marked as minor (but don't forget that major changes can be flagged by a user as minor anyway, even though major edits should always be summarized).

One line in recent changes consists of several links:

• “diff” displays the difference to the previous revision of the page,
• “hist” links to the revision history of the page,
• the link with the full title of the page brings you to the current version. If the title is in bold, it indicates that it is on your watchlist.

Next is a flag describing the article modification type:

• “N” denotes a new page,
• “m” a minor edit,
• “b” an edit made by a bot.

Following the timestamp, it shows the page size difference to the previous version, then the editor's username linked to hir username page, a link to hir metapage and a link to hir <createsedits> page.

There is also an edit summary, appearing in italics, if the user submitted one when s/he made the edit.

Enhanced view

If you are logged in and have JavaScript enabled, you can also try the "enhanced" view. Simply go to your Preferences and enable "Enhanced recent changes (requires JavaScript)"; this will make recent changes show edits divided by page rather than being listed individually. You will now see entries like the following:

File:Arr r.png 15:17 Main Page (4 changes; (+236) Page history) [Some User‎ (2×); Some Other User (2×)]

Simply click the blue arrow to the left of the page name and timestamp to expand that page's recent edits just as they were on the normal style. You can turn this enhancement on and off at will, so feel free to try both to see which one you prefer.
