Created attachment 6851 [details] patch to not exclude recent changes from rss feed Comment in OutputPage.php states # Recent changes feed should appear on every page (except recentchanges, that would be redundant). making me think that at some point, recent changes outputted it's own RSS feed. However, I am not sure, but currently there is no RSS feed for recent changes on the recent changes page. Attached patch removed the check to see if we are on the recent changes page and so adds the recent changes feed to all pages.
Cf bug 14500 and r36212 where I removed it.

I suppose it's slightly off-putting to people on older browsers who don't get a UI hint like in Firefox, but still want the URI to the site RSS feed.
i made my patch because I got no UI hint in firefox on the recent changes page. Am i missing something ? (And i saw nothing in the headers about rss on the recent changes page)
For example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges where is the feed?

yeh as i said in my bug. "but currently there is no RSS feed for recent changes on the recent changes page." :). my patch fixes this, or i guess we could just revert 36212. something must have changed elsewhere ?
The problem is not r36212, and also the patch is not the correct one. Special:RecentChanges already have syndication links, it is set in SpecialRecentchanges::webOutput() with a $wgOut->setSyndicated() call. Note that this bug was introduced in 1.16-svn. If you look deeper, you will find that Special:UnusedCategories and possibly others are also missing syndication links. The real problem here was introduced in r57119, which made $wgOut->setSyndicated() into a no-op.
aah. I had actually looked at that patch before, and not noticed that. Well spotted. Thanks
CCing Andrew since it's his fault :)
Any news on this ?
Fixed in r61021.
