--- Comment #5 from jida...@jidanni.org  2009-03-18 06:06:00 UTC ---
Please reconsider the value of

/**
 * Filter $wgRCLinkDays by $wgRCMaxAge to avoid showing links for numbers
higher than what will be stored.
 * Note that this is disabled by default because we sometimes do have RC data
which is beyond the limit
 * for some reason, and some users may use the high numbers to display that
data which is still there.
 */
$wgRCFilterByAge = false;

Consider that now that $wgRCMaxAge = 7 * 24 * 3600,
the user will discover that the  "14" and "30" day links malfunction.
Worse is on smaller wikis. The user cannot tell if there really was no
activity or not!

That "we sometimes do have RC data which is beyond the limit" sounds
like a bug that was fixed. And "some users may use the high numbers"
sounds like power users who probably have other ways to get the data.

So I would change the comment too.

Please just use:

/**
 * Filter $wgRCLinkDays by $wgRCMaxAge to avoid showing links for numbers
higher than what will be stored.
 */
$wgRCFilterByAge = true;
