I just tried it. It's not working on my machine but I think it's close. <br><br>1. The drop-down list won't come when I insert the javascript in my personal monobook.js page.<br>
2. If I add the javascript to a page as <html><script>...</script></html>, I get the drop-down list on that page with only one entry.<br><br>If you have any suggestions let me know.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I think such a feature would be very useful (I frequently view recent<br>
changes to find the pages I've been editing recently which is a bit<br>
more awkward).<br>
<br>
But given that we are talking about a sitewide change, I'd be<br>
interested to get Bill's take on it and also have some users test it<br>
prior to implementing sitewide.<br>
