Sorry for asking again, but can I put this back?
Sorry if you told us already, but... What's it for?
Bug 13588 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13588: It would be useful to have a new recentchanges like table that tracks changes in pagelinks, categorylinks, imagelinks, interwikilinks, etc.
A blocker of bug 7148 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7148
It looks like a really slow way to fix 7148 (watchlist for category membership changes). It would be much, much faster if you tracked changes to categorylinks only.
Of course, but in the future people may want to track changes in page links or image usage. Could adapt it though to make the type of links to track configurable.
