{{Information page|WP:RELC}}
The '''related changes''' feature (found in the Toolbox menu) lists all recent changes in articles to which the current page has a link, but not more than the number specified in the preferences. Its header is "Related changes" with a subheader "(to pages linked from "xxx")".

As in [[Help:Recent changes|Recent Changes]] and [[Help:Enhanced recent changes|Enhanced Recent Changes]], [[Help:Watching pages|watched pages]] are bolded.

This feature can be used to set up custom watchlist-like functionality. It behaves like a watchlist, which would contain every page to which the current page linked. However, Related Changes do not automatically include talk pages; for the talk pages to be automatically included, the page to which Related Changes is applied has to link to these pages. See [[Help:Public watchlist]] for details.

==Options==
The option "Hide minor edits" that can be set in the [[special:preferences|preferences]] applies to Related Changes.

See also [[Help:Preferences#Recent_changes_and_stub_display|hide minor edits]].

==In code==
In code, one can link to any page to be RELC tracked:
:[[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Apollo]]

Use the full pagename (including namespace).

==Caveats==
* Changes to the source page (page with links) itself is not listed.

* For links to redirects, only a change in the ''redirect'' is given, not a change in the target article. In this regard a direct link to the target article is superior.

* The "Related changes" feature does not list changes in images, sound files or image description pages (regardless of which of the three linking methods (image, :image or media) is used.)

* When applying the feature to a [[Help:Link#Subpage_feature|subpage]], the automatic link to the parent page is ignored, i.e., changes in the parent page are not listed unless there is also an explicit link to it.
