Description

Special:NewFiles (previously known as Special:NewImages) needs improvement. While other similar pages like Log, NewPages or RecentChanges received numerous improvements, NewFiles still looks and behaves just like it did in 2004.

Maybe an article creation log (T12331) would be an alternative? Because it doesn't get purged after a certain timespan and can give a really good overview of the history of pages, for example deleted ones.
