Line 4:

The template adds a box to a page with five or more links. Each link opens a ''list of [[WP:RELC|Recent changes]]'' for a set of WP:MED pages.

{{WPMED relatedRelated changes in Unicode}}

: <code><nowiki>{{WPMED recent changes}}</nowiki></code>

{{clear}}

Line 15:

===Add more links to track===

You can add extra pages that are tracked (=presented in a Recent changes list).<br>

{{WPMED recentRelated changes in Unicode|mylinks1=Leukemia|mylinks2=Malaria|label2=My topic of study}}

;Examples:

<pre>

{{WPMED recentRelated changes in Unicode

|mylinks1=Leukemia

|mylinks2=Malaria|label2=My topic of study

Line 31:

===Style settings===

:{{para|style}} is an optional parameter, and can set or overrule the css style:

{{tlx|WPMED relatedRelated changes in Unicode|2=style=float:left;}} will let the box float to the left side of the page.

Line 37:

The '''[[WP:RELC|Recent changes]]''' special page produces a ''time-ordered list of edits'', a bit like "Recent changes", "Watchlist" and "History" do. The specialty is that it lists only "outgoing links that are on a page." The option is in the toolbox menu in the left-hand side of this screen. When clicked, you'll see the edits listed for all links that are on ''this'' very page.

We can also feed this Special with ''another'' page's links to follow. For example, this is the ''Related changes'' list looking at talkpage <s>WT:Medicine: [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine|Special page Related changes for WT:Medicine]]</s>. This template uses the trick is that it uses another pages that has exactly all "Medicine X-importance" pages listed.

If we put all 30,000 MED-pages in one page to follow, the visible list would roll over every 5 hours, so that you'd easily miss edits to you pages of interest: they're falling off the list quick.
