As per Erik's comments in bug 53541 comment 18: | 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. Creating here without specific judgement.
