When I used {{Special:RecentChanges/5}} on the main page of my wiki when I came back after awhile with no changes I noticed strings like UNIQ then a bunch of characters. I ended up editing the wiki trying to debug the problem so the problem went away but if happens again I'll update this bug.
You have any extensions installed that modify Special:Recentchanges. (And you're sure you are using 1.22? This is a known issue with versions from years ago (e.g. 1.16), but has been fixed for a while afaik)
Sounds like bug 56167 which was fixed by Gerrit change #91889. That patch set will be part of mediawiki version 1.23.
I'm sure I'm using 1.22. I checked in DefaultSettings.php. I setup the wiki last month and got the latest code. I have intersection/DynamicPageList installed, but I don't think that modifies Special:RecentChanges. The other extensions I am using are ConfirmEdit and SpamBlacklist. Looks like this bug was already fixed and will be released in 1.23, great.
Assuming this is bug 56167; closing as duplicate. Please reopen if this is still a problem in 1.23. Thank you! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 56167 ***
