How diffs could be visible again in the RSS or Atom feeds ?
In Manual:Preventing access#Restrict viewing of all pages it is said that :
- In addition to the main page of such a private site, you could give access to the Recentchanges page (if you think that its content isn't private) for feed readers by adding "Special:Recentchanges" to $wgWhitelistRead.
But the problem is that since MediaWiki 1.12, as soon as "Disable reading by anonymous users" is set, the diffs aren't shown anymore in the feeds.
Why ? Since it remains possible to choose whether or not to let the feeds be visible ?
How diffs could be visible again in the RSS or Atom feeds even-though restricting viewing of pages has been set ?
Today I committed an experimental extension: Extension:FeedsFromPrivateWikis
Just tested it : it works fine for me ! Thank you Raymond :-)
I've been waiting for it since MW 1.12 !
