daishu0000 created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6562)
### Description
When clicking the **“traces/rss”** button near **“Update a trace”** , the link
always opens:
>https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces/rss
This happens regardless of the current `before` parameter in the URL.
As a result, it always shows the same XML feed containing the newest 20 traces.
This behavior causes two problems:
1. **For normal users**
They usually don’t want to open an XML page, and the page provides no useful
information for them.
2. **For developers**
Developers often want to inspect how the parameters works in the RSS feed, but
the current button does not preserve any parameters.
### Suggested improvements
**Option 1** — Preserve the before parameter
**Example**:
When a user is on:
>https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces?before=12117585
Clicking the RSS button should open:
>https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces/rss?before=12117585
instead of:
>https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces/rss
**Option 2** — Replace the button with a help/documentation page
Instead of opening raw XML, the button could link to a page to show how traces
api works.
### The screenshot of the button
