Wiki Activity is considerably flawed over how you can only see talk page messages, blog comments, and mainspace edits. Thus, Wiki Activity is actually dangerous to use if all admins use it. People who want to harm the wiki can't really do it, as I often browse recent changes. However, if everyone used Wiki Activity, then the wiki would be in danger. An angry user could destroy Template:DistributionGame without anyone knowing, annihilate templates,and if an admin, put up certain stuff in the MediaWiki userspace, as it wouldn't show up.

Sure, some browsing users would notice it, but one has to report this to the Nitrome Wiki before it is fixed. Wiki Activity is deeply flawed in that it deliberately hides everything. In fact, Wikia Activity also insults itself saying "See all activity", as if users who use this just for seeing all activity don't know they are being given a selected list of mainspaces to view. It seems as though Wikia is trying to some way destroy the ever useful Recent Changes by putting up links only to Wiki Activity. Why?

Not only does Wiki Activity limit how much you can see, it also considerably stretches the page when you want to view what happened while you were gone. Wiki Activity also doesn't provide anything useful. It shows the pages with the most edits, but visual. Sure, the Recent Changes also does the same. I wonder if Wiki Activity was the start of the "Make everything easy to use even though it is considerably limited" Wikia revolution.

Oops... am I rambling?
