Hello. I was thinking that it might be a good idea if, where a guide hasn't been edited in the past month, the Recent Changes page shows all edits in the past 6 months instead. The reasoning behind this is that for a low-traffic guide, a month isn't actually all that long, and that a blank Recent Changes page looks broken.
An alternative might be to show the last n edits instead of hardcoding to 6 months, but that's inconsistent with the normal Recent Changes output.
In the long term, I'd like to make Recent Changes much more customisable, but in the short term this is a quick fix which would go a long way towards making the lower-traffic guides look better.
Thoughts?

last 50 edits grouped accordingly.
this also solves a problem for heavily used guides that the recent changes page can get quite large.

Perhaps with a [more...] link to show 51-100 (with a [more...] link to show 101-150, etc)
It's great how these simple things suddenly become complicated, isn't it?!
