What the Recent changes patrol does:

MediaWiki lets you filter the RecentChanges feed:

  • Tweak the settings at the top of Special:Recentchanges. If you want to focus on a particular area (e.g. anon editors, contributions by new user accounts, [article talk pages]...) then you can mention that if you "sign up" below.
  • To track a subject area, you can use the "Related changes" link, found in the lowest section of the left sidebar. Go to a category you want to monitor and click "Related changes" and it will show all recent changes made to pages in the category. However, it's not a complete solution - it will not show when pages are added to or removed from the category. (It also doesn't show you relevant pages which are not yet in the category - see Appropedia:Categorization project for work on this.)

Other logs are also worth monitoring, e.g. Special:NewFiles shows a gallery of new files - monitor it for possible spam , copyright violations and missing licensing or missing fair-use justification.

For more suggestions, see Help:Monitoring changes and the Recent changes patrol on Wikipedia.
