Hello everyone,

In 2016, I did some work on a project [ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118463] (under the mentorship of Stephen LaPorte, Lydia Pintscher, Marius Hoch, Tim Starling and Bene*) to write automated unit tests for the IFTTT app for Wikimedia (Wikipedia Channel on IFTTT), add a few Wikidata related trigger (queries done using the WDQS) and also to build an interface[4] to allow users not wanted to use the IFTTT website to be able to get updates on various Wikipedia feeds such as (AotD etc).

I documented the work (progress report) [1] and also developed a v1.0 of the User Manual [2], Hoo (Marius) gave an idea to transfer the manual content to a wiki page so it can easily be improved by others (such as translation etc) when using the tool and we now have it mediawiki [dot] org [3].

Would like to share the work that has been done over the years to community and fans of RSS should have a look at it and give some feedback for improvements. Thanks!

Note: Some triggers (like the hash-tag) trigger RSS will not work due to database changes on the Toolforge replica but it's on the radar and some part of the work can't be tested by users or seen directly since it's mostly backend stuff, just the RSS UI can be used by community as it's user-facing.
