For recentchanges and newpages you can use a url such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=r…
to get a somewhat easier to parse format. This doesn't work for
Special:Contributions though, and I have no idea how hard it would be
to patch Mediawiki to make it work.

Hello,
for special pages, it is not possible to get the source code, because
they are generated. I am thinking of Recentchanges, Contributions, etc.
Is it possible to export those pages? It would make parsing easier.
I want to parse my Contributions in order to create some statistics
about them. Yes, I'm aware of Kate's tools, but these do not enable me
to see 1) the size of my changes, 2) the number of Newpages I created.
Without the latter, 'number of edits' doesn't say too much. It is
relatively low for me (User:Gerritholl) because I spent time writing
articles in one go, not doing minor edits for VfD, FAC, etc. I want to
see more meaningful statistics on myself (and others...).
regards,
Gerrit.
