Recent changes - all edits, or edits in one selected namespace; also shows the change in size of the wikitext in bytes.
Watchlist - all edits in watched pages with talk pages, or ditto in one selected namespace; also shows the change in size of the wikitext in bytes.
Related changes - all edits in pages linked to from a selected page outside the category namespace, or all edits in pages in a selected category, including addition to, but not deletion from a category; also shows the change in size of the wikitext in bytes.
Special:Newpages - new pages in one specified namespace; also shows the current size of the wikitext in bytes.

Including older edits and other events:

My contributions - message with id 'uctop' (talk) (default "(top)") indicates that no subsequent edit was made; hence its absence indicates that there is a subsequent edit; its absence at the first occurrence of a page in the list indicates that there is a subsequent edit by someone else. The next item provides the info about these.
Page history - all edits to a specified page; also shows the size of the wikitext in bytes, for edits from 19 April 2007 (for Wikimedia wikis).
Special:Log - logged events for a specified log type, the name of the acting user, and/or the name of the affected page; the starting date varies.
Special:Newimages - images from new to old.
Special:Imagelist - file info, by default sorted from new to old.
Special:Watchlist/edit - shows existence of watched pages, helpful for detecting deletion of watched pages (but not of talk pages).
Page with links to originally existing pages - shows existence of linked pages, helpful for detecting deletion of any of them.
Page with links to originally non-existing pages - shows existence of linked pages, helpful for detecting creation of any of them.
