Issue
Known issue with adding extensions/new includes: if the RSS feed gets broken, check the source of the rss page & if a new line or multiple new lines appear prior to the XML tag, you have the Broken RSS feed issue described here.

Cause
A common cause is the addition of blank lines in php files which are external to the  tags - this is especially true of some text editors where an additional line at the end is "inserted" by the unhelpful-editor during a paste operation or copied by the unhelpful-browser during copy.

Resolution
Check the LocalSettings.php file and any file which is included via the LocalSettings.php page (such as require_once('extensions/SpecialInterwiki.php');). For each of these files, ensure no lines appear prior to the  close tag at the end of the file. If so, remove the extra lines.

Additional Note
Depending on the content of the page, there may be additional lines mid-way through the included file. A careful examination of the file is required to ensure:
 * 1) The php within the file is not broken by a change.
 * 2) The functionality of the include/extension is not broken by a change.
