Summary: geotag recent changes rss feed with IP geolocation or
page/file coordinates
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Extensions requests
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: jsals...@gmail.com
The RSS feed of Recent Changes should be enhanced with GeoRSS coordinates when
available from IP address editing, or page or file upload coordinates (e.g.
using the {{coords|...}} template or uploaded file geocoding.) This would
allow a more visually interesting depiction of recent changes when they are
being used to show representative edits.
I it would probably be best to include only the first three paragraphs of the
diff in such a feed, and if there is some way to get a thumbnail of the page's
first File/Image when available, that would be even better.
I asked about this on IRC, and something like it was already done on the old
stable toolserver, but it wasn't moved to the new toolserver as far as I can
tell.
