added write up on subscription via rss to this wiki

New page

== You may subscribe to changes in this wiki via RSS/Atom feeds without an account. ==

There seems to be no documentation on this process. You just guess until it works.
Learn how to discover new sorts of useful feeds farther down the page...

Examples:

* Subscribe to '''New Pages Created'''. Useful to avoid New User creation spam.
https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Special:NewPages&feed=atom&action=history

* Subscribe to '''changes on a ''specific'' wiki page'''. 
https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=<code>EXAMPLE</code>&feed=atom&action=history

* Subscribe to '''contributions from a ''specific'' user'''. 
https://www.noisebridge.net/api.php?action=feedcontributions&user=EXAMPLE&feedformat=atom

== Adding new Subscription options for this Wiki ==

* We could extend RSS feed options using our [[RSSBridge]]. [https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/blob/master/bridges/WikipediaBridge.php See wikipedia example].
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Wikipedia_RSS_Feed_User_Manual IFTTT integration details for Mediawiki instances as developed in 2016].
* [https://github.com/samwilson/mediawiki-feeds Mediawiki-Feeds] is a tool designed to make it easier to subscribe to categories on a Mediawiki installation like ours. [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mediawiki-feeds/ Try it out here].

== Discovering feeds on this wiki the painful way ==
To discover new and improved feeds, start with our basic subscription url for the wiki at:

[https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Noisebridge&action=history It is listed on our "history" page and hidden annoyingly on the main page].

<code>https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Noisebridge&feed=atom&action=history</code>

* The <code>title</code> is the page watched.
** Substitute title with whatever page name you want, such as <code>Guilds</code>
* <code>&action=</code> is letting us track the history of changes
* <code>&feed=atom</code> is turning this into a subscription feed.

Now, let's try using special options in [[Special:SpecialPages]] in place to <code>title</title>
* <code>Special:NewPages</code> will successfully subscribe to only showing newly created pages!
* Perhaps you can discover more..?!
