Script to make recent changes refresh automatically

Some wikis, including my home one, having implemented an ajax script that allows Special:Recentchanges to automatically refresh itself every minute. I think this would be useful on Halopedia, especially for recent changes patrollers. Admins, add this if you wish. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 14:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

// ADVANCED AUTO REFRESHING RECENT CHANGES AND WATCHLIST
// Code courtesy of "pcj" of WoWWiki.

// WHAT IT DOES
// The code adds a checkbox at the top of Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist, next to the header.
// Ticking this sets a cookie (specific to each wiki) and starts updating the list.
// This occurs silently every 60 seconds without a full page reload occurring.

Let's test it out, shall we? - 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 15:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Works good from what i've seen, thanks for the help Avatar! CommanderTony

Yeah, it appears to be working. No problem, hope it's useful :) Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 15:52, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
