It allows people to go through recentchanges, making sure the edits
are "genuine" (i.e. not vandalism etc), and tell other people that
they've done so, so everybody doesn't waste their time checking the
same edit. But if I understand rightly, it doesn't quite work properly
at the moment - I might be wrong about that, though, and I've no idea
what it is that's wrong with it if I'm not.
