Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

There are often times when I would like to remove my own edits from the Recent
Changes list, particularly on a wiki installation with not many active users.

I've made a small patch to SpecialRecentchanges for this, attached below.

This also, of course, requires extending MediaWiki:Showhideminor. I added '| $5
my edits' to the end of the default version.
