We need a way to compile, based on lists of links (I guess), "Recent Changes" lists for all articles about a general topic. I think this is actually a very pressing need that should have been taken care of long ago. (For the record, I asked for it probably a year ago or more.) The idea is that we'd be able to maintain lists of all articles on a given general subject, such as philosophy, and any changes made to any articles on the subject would show up on the recent changes page for that subject.
We already have a way to do exactly this: make a page that lists the pages that you have decided are in the topic, and click "Watch links". You get the interface of Recentchanges, showing only pages that are linked to from the list.
