Thread:Project:Support desk/How diffs could be visible again in the RSS or Atom feeds ?

In Manual:Preventing access 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 ?
