===Documentation===

==Short description==
Displays the last 50 comments made on the wiki, ordered by date and time.

==Parameters==
This action accepts no parameters.

However, specifying a "user=" GET parameter for the page containing the action will display recent comments only for the specified user.

==Long description==
In contrast to ""{{""[[RecentlyCommentedActionInfo | recentlycommented]]""}}"", which shows the last //commented pages//, **this action shows the last 50 //comments//** (or whatever number the user has configured in his/her settings) regardless of the number of pages which were commented.

Example: if the FormattingRules were commented four times, this action would show four comments as separate items.

Comments are ordered after date and time of the comment. The name of the page, the author of the comment and a preview with 125 chars of the comment are shown.

==Usage:==
##""{{recentcomments}}""##

==Example:==
see RecentComments.

==Author==
