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.
Regards,
Daniel

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Recent Changes shows nothing!
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.
