First question: What is your $wgRCMaxAge set to? By default changes are only kept in the recentchanges table for 7 days. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgRCMaxAge Second question: Have you recently changed any settings on your wiki or run any of the maintenance scripts? Otherwise I would suggest checking your server logs.

When I click on Recent Changes as of this morning, I see only today's activity. a new user added joined the wiki, and a page was updated. No matter what I do to look back in time, I don't see anything, even when I tell it to look back 300 days and 500 edits. There should be a full year worth of edits there. I could see them yesterday, but not today. I am running Mediawiki 1.15.1, PHP 5.2.6, and MySQL 4.1.16 Did the new user hack me somehow, or what? He looks like a spammer, but a very mild one.
