Extension talk:SearchFeed

--Alvo 14:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Cannot make it work, what kind of changes it should track?

I've got MediaWiki 1.12.0 (r16740)

and all I get after I install and visit the special page Searchfeed is:

 XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: http://www.theaquariumwiki.com/Special:SearchFeed Line Number 2, Column 1:  ^ 

--Quatermass 15:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

oops. That error was caused by a bug on my Wiki. Now corrected. Please ignore.

obvious question
How is this extension different from the built-in RSS feed functionality (Special:RecentChanges&feed=rss)? --Woozle 17:49, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Does MediaWiki have a RSS already? I've only upgraded from an old version quite recently.

--Quatermass 09:12, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Yep -- it's been available since at least mid-2006; I use it to watch for spam. (It's available in the toolbox on the "Recent Changes" special page, or if you have Firefox 2+ you'll see the RSS icon in the URL bar on every page.) It's kind of limited, though, so maybe your extension can provide some extra features - e.g. a feed of only non-patrolled edits would be nifty, and a feed-per-page. Filtering by user would be useful too (e.g. only show me other people's edits.. I think there's already an extension which provides a feed of new articles in a category, but I haven't tried it yet. --Woozle 19:17, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
