|label2= is optional.

Workings of "Recent changes"[edit]
The Recent changes special page produces a time-ordered list of edits, a bit like "Recent changes", "Watchlist" and "History" do. The specialty is that it lists only "outgoing links that are on a page." The option is in the toolbox menu in the left-hand side of this screen. When clicked, you'll see the edits listed for all links that are on this very page.
We can also feed this Special with another page's links to follow. For example, this is the Related changes list looking at talkpage WT:ANAN: Special page Related changes for WT:ANAN. This template uses the trick is that it uses another pages that has exactly all "Animal anatomy X-importance" pages listed.
