To browse page history for changes made by user type, i.e. see only the changes made by bots or users with IP addresses or admins etc. Also changes made by specific user.
(In reply to comment #0) > see only the changes made by bots If you mean changes made by users who were bots at the time, this can't be done because that data is discarded. It only affects the Recent Changes table. In fact, with the new API parameters, it is possible for a bot, each time, to choose whether to make a bot edit or not. The same applies for other rights, there is no way to fully and accurately determine what rights a user had when they made an edit, only their current rights. If however, you want to see edits based on the user's current rights, this can possibly be done, but might be a very expensive query. > Also changes made by specific user. This can be done via the API already, eg: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvuser=Splarka&titles=Wikipedia:Village%20pump%20(technical)
