The Atom version of the Special:Recentchanges page doesn't specify a namespace for the feed element. It generates the following feed tag: <feed version="0.3" xml:lang="en"> Whereas it should generate the following tag: <feed version="0.3" xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#" xml:lang="en"> ... per the Atom 0.3 spec: http://www.mnot.net/drafts/draft-nottingham-atom-format-02.html Because of this bug, feed validators like feedvalidator.org say the feed is invalid: http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.mozilla.org%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DSpecial%3ARecentchanges%26feed%3Datom More importantly, some feed readers don't see the feed as an Atom feed, so they don't parse it correctly.
Created attachment 1057 [details] patch v1: fixes bug in Feed.php This one-liner adds the necessary namespace attribute. Note that I've applied this patch to wiki.mozilla.org, so the feedvalidator URL above won't show the error anymore. But other wiki sites, like wikitravel, do show the error. Here's what the feed validator says about wikitravel: http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwikitravel.org%2Fwiki%2Fen%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DSpecial%3ARecentchanges%26feed%3Datom
Created attachment 1058 [details] patch v2: updated to 1.5 release branch The previous patch was against our 1.4 installation, and it doesn't apply cleanly to 1.5. This patch does. Note that neither patch is necessary on the trunk, as the trunk is using Atom 1.0, and its feed tag is labeled with the appropriate namespace attribute.
Applied to REL1.5, will be in 1.5.3.
