The related changes feature (found in the "Tools" menu of the desktop version) lists all recent changes in pages linking to or transcluding the current page, or to which the current page has a link or is transcluding. The page name can also be entered at Special:RecentChangesLinked, or specified in a link like Special:RecentChangesLinked/Apollo.
Choose between "Show changes on pages linked from" and "Show changes on pages linking to" at top of related changes.
As in Recent Changes and Enhanced Recent Changes, watched pages are bolded.
This feature can be used to set up custom watchlist-like functionality. It behaves like a watchlist, which would contain every page to which the current page linked. However, Related Changes do not automatically include talk pages; for the talk pages to be automatically included, the page to which Related Changes is applied has to link to these pages. See Help:Public watchlist for details.
Options
For registered users, the Recent changes tab of Special:Preferences has several options which affect both Recent changes and Related changes.

"Hide minor edits from recent changes" can be set.

Caveats
- Changes to the current page itself are not listed. Click the "View history" tab to see them.
- On a category page, "Show changes on pages linked from" will show changes to category members instead of pages which are linked or transcluded by the wikitext.
- For links to redirects, only a change in the redirect is given, not a change in the target article. In this regard, a direct link to the target article is superior.
- Changes to used files and their file pages are not shown if the file is hosted at Wikimedia Commons.
- When applying the feature to a subpage, the automatic link to the parent page is ignored, i.e., changes in the parent page are not listed unless there is also an explicit link.
