 # recently changed pages
 
-The files listed on this page were modified somewhat recently.
-The exact date of reference may vary, and the files aren’t guaranteed
-  to be in any particular order.
+The files listed on this page were modified somewhat recently (within a
+  week of the latest change).
 
-If you really care about following every change posted to this wiki,
-  try subscribing to [the Atom feed for the Git repository powering
-  this site](https://git.ladys.computer/Wiki/atom).
+Only the past seven or so commits are actually queried for dates (it’s
+  a separate command for each one), so files which were edited less
+  recently are collected at the end.
+This number could be increased at some point depending on wiki activity
+  (or according to some hueristic, like “query for at least all the
+  commits in the past day”).
+But because [Lady’s Gitweb instance][Computer/Gitweb]{title="Lady’s
+  Gitweb"} provides an [the Atom feed for the Git repository powering
+  this site](https://git.ladys.computer/Wiki/atom), having a full
+  changelog is less necessary.
