You may subscribe to changes in this wiki via RSS/Atom feeds without an account.[edit | edit source]


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.

  • Subscribe to changes on a specific wiki page.

https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=EXAMPLE&feed=atom&action=history

  • Subscribe to contributions from a specific user.

Adding new Subscription options for this Wiki[edit | edit source]

Discovering feeds on this wiki the painful way[edit | edit source]

To discover new and improved feeds, start with our basic subscription url for the wiki at:

note: It is listed on our "history" page and hidden annoyingly on the main page.

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

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

Now, let's try using special options in Special:SpecialPages in place to title

  • Special:NewPages will successfully subscribe to only showing newly created pages!
  • Perhaps you can discover more..?!
