The [[Special:Recentchanges|'''recent changes page''']] is conveniently accessed from the Interaction Menu on Wikipedia's sidebar (displayed on the left side of your screen). It lists the most recent edits made to pages in [[Wikipedia]]. Using this page, you can monitor and [[WP:RPC|review]] the latest contributions, to discover and correct mistakes and to spot and revert [[WP:VAND|vandalism]].

Options can be set to filter and display recent changes according to the preferred criteria (present at the top of the recent changes page, containing three sections: "This page", "Utilities" and "About us"). The available filters are [[wp:FA|featured articles]], [[wp:GA|good articles]], [[wp:BLP|living people]], new editors' contribs, IPs' contribs, mobile contribs and by [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]]. It can also be filtered according to [[Special:tags|tags]] by typing in the specific one, such as "Visual edit", "large plot addition" or "blanking", etc.

Most (although not all) [[WP:BOTS|bot edits]] should be marked with the [[WP:BOTFLAG|bot flag]] and be hidden by default (if enabled, they will be marked with a '''b''' in the recent changes logs and in [[WP:WATCHLIST|watchlists]]). If you see a bot edit that shouldn't appear in the recent change logs or your watchlist, please report it to the bot operator per [[WP:BOTISSUE]].

For a more detailed description, see the [[meta:Help:Recent changes|recent changes help page]] of [[MediaWiki]].
