I've added you to the group of users who can use the [[Special:RecentChangesCleanup|Recent Changes Cleanup]] add-on. Can you use it if you add the Welcome Template and when you make, hopefully not again, mass changes that don't really add anything useful to the visible Recent Changes page. The add-on sets the "bot"-bit, hiding changes until you click the "Show bots" link.

:Ok, just to make sure I understood: when I welcome new users or do other things that for whatever reason might be considered "bot-level" changes, I should visit that link you just gave me and click "Hide" next to those changes? -- [[User:Irningston|Irningston]] ([[User talk:Irningston|talk]]) 18:29, 15 September 2015 (CEST)
::Yes, although "should" is too strong. It would be nice to do it, as it keeps only the '''real''' Recent Changes visible. Ditto for experimenting on your own page. It's not very interesting for others to see that User:Prino has been changing his user page(s) and rather than using '''Preview''', has used '''Save page''' 42 times. (No, I don't, but I do hide "''new trip''" the changes I make to my User and log pages) For what it's worth, I usually middle-click the '''Hide''' link as that stops the page from refreshing, which means you can hide a lot of entries very quickly, closing tabs is faster that scrolling down again and again.
