i) Activate hook SpecialRecentChangesQuery (presently commented in the code) SpecialRecentchangeslinked.php
ii) The hook should pass $query_options
iii) the caller should respect a false return value and stop processing
See also Bug 22315 (fixed in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/61670 ) for the hook parameters in SpecialRecentchanges.php . I applied a similar change to the patch.
Or dear expert, is a different name "SpecialRecentChangeslinkedQuery" for the hook needed ? I do not think so but let it up to you.
