Hi List,
how is it possible to get the (rss/atom) feed icon in the address bar of the browser. At the moment I use the WikiFeeds extension which creates an own feed being shown in the address bar.
But I want the mediawiki's internal feed (which displays the changes much better) used when you click the Recent Changes page - so how do i show this feed in the address bar of the browser so that the feed can be subscribed to on every page of the wiki?
PS: Is there an implementation planned with which you can configure the feed?
Thx in advance,
Regards, Alex

This happens automatically. Go to Wikipedia or any other MW wiki you like, and the little RSS icon shows up in the address bar. Note that until a version or two ago, this only happened on history pages and recent changes, but now, at least one feed link shows up on every page: one to recent changes, one to the current article's history (if viewing an article). If you're using an old version, I suggest you upgrade.

Configure in what ways?

Seems the default behavior is to make the feed link on article pages feed recent changes .... this is pretty much useless, and somewhat surprising, on very active wikis like that largest Wikipedias.
The history page provides a choice over article history vs recent changes.

You're right, this is stupid. Some of this code could use rewriting. There seems to be no simple and clean way to change OutputPage.php to do it properly at present.
