Description T. Gries 2004-11-22 06:22:59 UTC 
In combination with bugzilla:144 (modified Related Changes view for Category
pages), I needed to modify the CUTOFF value on my wiki and found that:

module SpecialRecentchanges uses the value(user option) 'rcdays', but this
cannot be set by a user (e.g. in SpecialPreferences).
Comment 1 T. Gries 2004-11-22 07:01:06 UTC 
I propose, to have a new user option in user preferences for the number of days.
it should be allowed to set it up to one year (on small-to-medium scale) wikis.

Therefore, an additional sysop option needs to be introduced in order to
restrict the maximum number of days a user can set.

CVS 1.5 SpecialRecentchanges.php(1) line 27 is still using a user option 'rcdays'.
However, there is still no user option input for 'rcdays' in
SpecialPreferences.php(2).

Brion: what is the purpose of the user option 'rcdays', when the user cannot set it?

I propose either to delete the reference in (1) or to implement a user entry
form for 'rcdays' in (2)
