I have found a few threads on this error message with RSS/ATOM on Special pages of MediaWiki. The fix seems to be generally removing newlines or whitespace in any files you may have edited. I have only made minor edits one file (LocalSettings.php) and I have removed any 'newlines' in those areas. However, the following error message still displays. I need someone to tell me specifically which file to go and fix and the steps needed to fix that file. I thank you in advance. "XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity Location: http://wiki.thepatternofeverything.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss Line Number 1, Column 5: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>"
This indicates extra whitespace at the start or end of one of the .php files, most likely: * LocalSettings.php * some extension * some other PHP file you have manually edited or customized Remove the whitespace.
