I agree. Basically, we need to be able to get rid of some of this clutter in recent changes.

I'd also like to suggest the possibility that meta.wikipedia changes would not show up in the recent changes log by default, but that they could be turned on in your user preferences, and that they should always show up in a different color to mark them off from real encyclopedia changes.

In fact, I'd like to also be able set up my recent changes page to exclude Talk: namespaces, and Wikipdians: namespaces as well as the proposed Meta namespace. That way, I could see only the changed articles without any of the other clutter. If we did this for everybody by default, I'd also like to see another special page that only shows the recent changes for the meta, talk, and wikipedians namespace.

Sounds plausible to me, as long as indeed the namespace has its own recent changes page.

This is good, but I think it should only be short term.

Long term, I am convinced that there is a better option... I'd advocate placing the MetaWikipedia information in its own namespace on the PHP wikipedia software.

I think Mark makes good arguments for this.
