// Code courtesy of pcj of WoWWiki.
// This is a modified version of the WoWWiki site version.

// Code adds a checkbox at the top of the Special:RecentChanges list, next to the header.
// Ticking it sets a cookie (should be individual to wikis) and starts updating the RC list.
// This occurs silently every 30 seconds without a full page reload occuring.
