This does sound rather useful to me. I guess we'll just have to hope there 
won't ever be an author called e.g. Raud-RecentEdits ;-)

How did you then go about extracting the list of recent edits from that 
page and append '?action=edit'?   (Or is that added to each 
entry in ...-RecentEdits when it is created?)

That also sounds useful, but I suspect it might be almost perpendicular to
how I'd use a list of pages I'd recently edited. In the case where I
originally thought of this feature, I was creating an entirely new group
of pages (e.g. Test.Test, Test.SideBar, Test.GroupHeader, Test.Pages,
Test.SomePage1, Test.Problem1, Test.Problem2). These aren't pages I'd 
normally tag as interesting, just pages I was working with and went back 
and forth between.

Do we have a suitable page for listing useful UI features?  Primarily I'd 
just like to make sure that we keep the ideas in a list somewhere for 
future reference (or when someone feels like hacking something "cool").
