Hi ...
I need this feature :
When a user logins , some articles must be marked with a light yellow to
view faster the last changes ...
TWO independent answers:
Solution and answer 1:
My "enotif" - email notification for changed pages and user_talk pages
- implements what you want as a positive side-effect - see
http://meta.wikipedia.com/Enotif for the whole documentation.
All watch-listed pages (User X has in his/her watchlist) with not-yet
visited(!) changes are visible marked with this green label. See middle
of page
http://meta.wikipedia.com/Enotif .
I call it side-effect because not everyone wants to store his/her
email-address in the preferences; however, with this green marker
everyone can notice what pages have new contents since the last visit.
The marker signals, that an email notification was actually sent out to
the stored email address -- but the marker is shown in any case, no
matter if an address is stored or not.
Is this what you want ?

Solution and answer 2:
First, please visit the Recent Changes view on the German wikipedia:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Recentchanges .
There, we applied 2 months ago an NEW icon which clearly indicates any
NEW page with an icon .
A discussion was started on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Newpageletter to have this
also on the English WP (WE).
Intermediate positive result:
EVERYUSER can now edit his/her page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EVERYUSER/monobook.css with this line:
#newarticlemark {background-color:yellow;}
See my User-CSS page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nyxos/monobook.css
I think, we need to put this info onto the Meta (I will do, because I
started the discussion).
