RSS is becoming bigger and bigger, and more and more people are beginning to use it. The problem is that the only time the head tags are included is when the recent chages page is loaded. Would it be possible for the rss/atom tags to be loaded on every page? Or is there a reason why it's only displayed on the recent changes page?
I guess you mean the <link rel='alternate' type='application/atom+xml' title='Atom 0.3' href='/yourwiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Recentchanges&feed=atom' /> tags ? I support your idea; had the same yesterday :-)

It's a feed for the application though, not a feed for each page. The recent change page is relevent to the entire install of mediawiki, which is why it would fit to be on each page. Alternatively, what if the recent changes page displayed a rss link for the entire app, and then on each page you could have an rss for that page. I think offering an RSS feed for each individual page, as well as the entire application would be the desired way to go.
