OK.

I suppose, but most wiki's I've seen including the original usemod wiki
don't require specifying a start page. See for instance
http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl

This is just for the one page, not for the entire wiki. See
http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RecentChanges for the way
RecentChanges is supposed to be - it summarizes all changes on the
entire wiki (so you can see where activity is taking place).
This is separate from the "View other revisions" for the specific
page, see for contrast
http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?action=history&id=UseModWiki ,
which just summarizes the changes for that one page.

Have you set $RCName set to "ODE_RecentChanges"? If so, maybe you need
to delete the current ODE_RecentChanges page so that the wiki can reuse
that page name to automatically generate the page. Or, maybe wiki.pl
can't really grok the spaces in the "RecentChanges" page name, so
$RCName might need to be set simply to "RecentChanges" (the default).

Thanks,
