I was excited a while back to upgrade our wiki to a more recent version specifically because of the "Special:NewPages" feature. However, now that I'm using it, I find it doesn't quite do what I thought.
See it in action here: https://catwiki.xula.edu/Special:NewPages Currently it's listing three new pages. Why only three? There seems to be a time limit. Maybe 100 days? That's my guess.
I've consulted the help page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:New_pages However, it doesn't mention a time limit.
Does anyone know if there is, indeed, a time limit, and if so what it might be? Also, is there any hack to get around it?
I'd like to see new pages for the last twelve months or so.

Special:newpages has been in mediawiki a very long time.
It is limited by $wgRCMaxAge but usually that is 90 days.

Thanks for the swift reply. The comment on how it's been in Mediawiki for a long time jogged my memory, or dislodged an erroneous memory. I realized I was barking up the wrong tree. So, I went to Special:Log instead, and I was able to generate a “Page creation log,” which I then manually filtered to eliminate redirects, templates, and file uploads. That's what I needed. It's been a year since we upgraded, which was the last time I looked at this issue, which is why my memory was faulty. Annual reports! Sorry for the confusion, but many thanks for the help. — Bart
