It means that Wikimedia have kindly asked Google not to access certain parts of the site (namely everything in /w/) and that Google is kind enough to abide by it.
If that's so, then you should be able to sort the problem by using this form of the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges?feed=rss

Would it be really stupid to ask why the URL sin't presented in this form on the actual page?
