@Rrburke It seems to still display 500 files using "older 500". And the link also contains "&limit=500". What OS and browser do you use? FYI, I am using Google Chrome on Windows XP SP3.

@Pokefan95 I'm using Google Chrome and Windows 10. I just tried loading the page while logged out and found that "&limit=500" was present. It must be something in my preferences.

Izno moved this task from To triage to Multimedia-related on the MediaWiki-Special-pages board.Jan 12 2017, 10:25 PM

@Rrburke: Cannot reproduce either...
Does this also happen when adding like the safemode=1 parameter to the URL, like https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewFiles&offset=&limit=500&safemode=1 ?
Does this also happen after disabling gadgets on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets ?

Aklapper renamed this task from "Older 500" link in Commons' "Gallery of new files" produces only 50 results to "Older 500" link in Commons' "Gallery of new files" produces only 50 results (but not when logged out).Apr 20 2017, 4:28 PM

@Rrburke: Could you answer the last questions please?

@Aklapper: Sorry for the tardy reply. Yes, it still happens when safemode=1 is set. I tried disabling all gadgets, but the problem persists.
