Created attachment 4664 [details] Patch to implement Special:Recentchangeslinked makes awkward wikilinks and does not match the standard text in the toolbox, "Related Changes". However, it is easy to add an alias for Special:RelatedChanges and this minor change is unlikely to break anything in the future. A short discussion was (2008-02-19 to 2008-02-22) at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VP/T#Recent_changes_to_Main_Page_articles I include a patch that does this. It alters the english localization to add the alias. According to the documentation, this should also provide the alias to most languages as well, using fallback. I have tested the patch on svn-current r31195 (2008-02-22 11:20:15 -0500).

Of course, if the user requests [[Special:ReCeNtChaNGEsLInkEd]], the url will be coerced to "Recentchangeslinked", but I don't know whether that would work the other way in a case the internally defined name contains irregular capitalization. Even if it does work, probably better to keep them consistent.

However, DoubleRedirects, BrokenRedirects, CreateAccount, MIMEsearch, and MergeHistory are mixed case. Basically though it is only capitalization of the string on the left hand side of the => that matters, since even ReLAteDcHangEs will redirect to Recentchangeslinked (not RelatedChanges or anything). I'm fine with either capitalization, and Relatedchanges seems consistent enough for me.
Works for me. :) Might consider switching the alias to the main name at some point, but no rush.
