Gentlemen, one might think "I'll improve my life by switching to RSS", however there is a loss incurred when browsing Special:RecentChanges&feed=rss instead of Special:RecentChanges. The edit summaries (e.g., "Correcting fungus inventory") are now not visible anymore, but instead one must individually browse each RSS article to see them. They should probably be right there in the RSS <title>, as well as <description>. (By the way, userlang=en has no effect on feed=rss. Maybe it could change some of the <channel> level items, mainly <description>, but probably best not to bother...)
uselang is separate bug 17868.
It seems good design to have titles as titles and descriptions of changes in the descriptions, instead of the title as well. Resolving as WONTFIX. Feel free to reopen if you disagree.
(In reply to comment #2) > It seems good design to have titles as titles and descriptions of changes in > the descriptions, instead of the title as well. Twitter uses title as well. Just saying. :)
All what a Twitter feed gives is a tweet, a single entity. Makes sense to use Title alone for it. Still, if you think there is a point for this request please reopen. I'm not an authority on the matter. See also the progress at Bug 17869.
Or maybe add the number of chars changed. Anything better than just Margaret Thatcher Barack Obama Barack Obama Margaret Thatcher Barack Obama Margaret Thatcher Barack Obama
