You may remember there used to be a thing that would show up on all page views (not counting mobile version) that would show the latest files added, but Wikia ditched it. Someone recently wrote something that allows something similar to take its place, and I finally got around to trying it.

Here's where you can find the code. If you want it to take effect for all Wikia sites, you can paste it in your global JavaScript file, located at the community Wikia site. Mine is at http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:JoshuaJSlone/global.js, and getting to yours would just be a matter of changing the user name.

There's a place in the code where you can make a few choices as to how it will appear. One is choosing how many of the most recent files it will show. The other lets you choose between a mode where the sizes are larger and you can see more information about the files, or one where it just displays them smaller. If you're not afraid to try changing bits of the code you can probably customize the appearance even more to your liking, but here's how the two standard options look for me:



Until this I wasn't sure it was possible to customize what shows up in the "rail" to the right. I'm curious if there's anything else interesting to go over there.
