Unfortunately the 5000 revision limit is hardcoded into MediaWiki for safety purposes. The default is 500, but your account's API limits are already as high as possible.

It might be changeable by modifying the software, but that's probably a bad/risky idea. Alternatively you could import a memory dump ~5000 revisions behind and poll that on a local MediaWiki instance.

Any way to overcome the wiki's 5000 change limit for RecentChanges? I've fallen behind... Sad
