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.

Adding new Subscription options for this Wiki

Discovering feeds on this wiki the painful way

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</title>

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