Here's a list of some of the ones that I use:

New UK mappers:
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/newestosm?c=United%20Kingdom#8/52.955/-0.654

Monitoring changes in a local area:
http://zverik.osm.rambler.ru/whodidit/?zoom=12&lat=53.15581&lon=-1.36634&layers=BTT
(actually an RSS feed is available, and there are a couple of 
"Whodidits" around - check the wiki for info)

There's also https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/Changeset1 which runs 
from the command line and lists bounding box overlaps (and some other 
things, like unfeasibly large buildings).

Checking for notes with certain content:
http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes/search?q=test&closed=0

Notes country feed:
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-notes-country-feed?c=United%20Kingdom&a=opened

Searching for a particular editor, among other things:
http://osmcha-django-staging.tilestream.net/?editor__icontains=osmapi%2F0.8.1&is_suspect=False&is_whitelisted=All&harmful=False&checked=All

Looking at MAPS.ME activity:
http://mmwatch.osmz.ru/?country=United+Kingdom

Relation history:
http://osm.mapki.com/history/relation.php?id=50288
(you can check nodes and ways too)

Changeset visualisation:
http://osmhv.openstreetmap.de/changeset.jsp?id=45015316
For very large changesets, zoom in to where you are interested in, turn 
the "pistemap" layer on (which fails to display) then zoom out to show 
the nearest change to you, then turn the "pistemap" layer off to see 
where it is.

Username changes over time:
