This only affects the options offered on the RC page. It does not even limit those (you can fill in a different number of days in the URL). It has no effect on the API.
The limit on the API is the RC table itself, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Recentchanges_table which describes $wgRCMaxAge
It would be good if we could retrieve some of these things with the API.

Hi,
I know configuration variables such as $wgRCLinkDays (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgRCLinkDays) affect Special:Recentchanges. Do they also affect how many RC edits you can get out of the API?
e.g. if $wgRCLinkDays is set to 3, and I try and pull RCs from the last 7 days via the API, will they all be there? Or will I just silently get 3 days worth?
Are config variables like this accessible via the API? It doesn't seem to me that they are.
thanks, Brianna
