I tried that, but the 'from' argument doesn't seem to do anything. I can put anything there and I always get the most recent changes.

The "from" argument is year, month, day, hour, minute, second

Hi,

Recent changes shows changes up to 30 days ago. Does anybody know if there is a way to get a list of the changes on a specific date?

Thanks! Ad

Or see here http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Recentchanges

It appears there IS a way to do this, in the API at any rate.

I can demonstrate that this is false

As you can see, three different lists, the largest one corresponds to 150 days

You'd still only get data from the last 30 days, as that's simply how much is stored in the database. There's a config variable which controls the duration whose name escaped me at the moment, though.

Um duh it does not. I use the standard config settings. Duh.

This simply means your wiki has the config variable set to a larger value, duh.

It's possible that you're wrong :) My Mediawiki install has always been this way.

Well, then this is just accidental and these will be deleted sooner or later. I bothered to find the variable's name and its doc page for you: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgRCMaxAge
