This extension is very useful to me and I was sad to find out that it seized to work after upgrading from MW-1.31 to 1.35. There is an open issue on the extension's Github page which suggests replacing DB_SLAVE by DB_REPLICA.

I can confirm that changing the following change in RecentChangesLogFilter.hooks.php (effectively replacing the first line which is commented out by the second one) makes the extension work fine on MW-1.35.

//$dbr = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
$dbr = wfGetDB( DB_REPLICA );

It is quite weak to post this work-around as a comment instead of taking over maintainership of this seemingly orphaned extension. However, anything that goes beyond replacing these two lines is far beyond my knowledge of PHP. I would be very grateful if anybody would go about this in a more professional manner.

Heiya, it would be cool to know the license to be used for this extension. Cheers

I’ve licensed the extension under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Thanks for reminding me to add it :)

No worries. Thanks for adding it since it otherwise could have been interpreted as CC by-sa or GFDL. Cheers
