This Help topic explains how to build RSS and Atom feeds for the Wiki.

Feeds are generated using Extension:DynamicPageList2 (and Extension:Newest Pages). The most important DPL2 parameters are supported, enabling powerful generation of RSS feeds based on category, namespace, modifier and other values.

Syntax

RSS Feeds are accessed through Special:Feeds. Filters are added to the request as URL parameters. For example, to see the last five edits by CareTaker, use: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Special:Feeds?modifiedby=CareTaker&count=5&ordermethod=lastedit

Note that URL parameters must be correctly encoded. For example, "Symbian C++" must be encoded as "Symbian C%2B%2B".
