Edits not older than {{mlmw|Manual:$wgRCMaxAge||$wgRCMaxAge}}:

*[[Help:Recent changes|Recent changes]] - all edits, or edits in one selected namespace; also shows the change in size of the wikitext in bytes.
*[[Help:Watching pages|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.
*[[Help:Related changes|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:

*[[Help:User contributions|My contributions]] - {{msg|uctop}} (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.
*[[Help:Page history|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.
