Re: [Wikitech-l] Modifications list and automated (cron?) task.
Special:NewPages has a feed too. As for collating recent changes by page title, that's called enhanced recent changes. We could add that as option in the feed (https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=helpmodules=feedrecentchanges ) and maybe make the timespan configurable. Special:RecentChanges makes one row for all edits to a page in 1 day, but sometimes it's more useful for that to be 7 days etc. So it would be a useful patch for core. Not saying this is necessarily the way to go, but Kelson's proposal is definitely implementable.

[Wikitech-l] Modifications list and automated (cron?) task.
Hello. I installed Mediawiki (and a couple of extensions) as an intranet website. Everyone in the company is entitled to publish, so my fear is people missing important information. My idea is to send a weekly e-mail to list every modified pages (link to page, author, last modification date). I started to write a PHP script as a demonstration and it now works pretty well. So I have two questions: - I first unsuccessfully tried to find something similar, but maybe I'm re-inventing the wheel? - If I'm the first to build such a feature, maybe someone else could have some interest in it? If yes, how to publish (this is not an extension, but a standalone software reading a MySQL database)?

If you really want to have a weekly email digest (what is IMO not a good idea), then you scan use any kind of feed2email software solution.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Modifications list and automated (cron?) task.
Hi Emmanuel, Thank you for your answer. The recent change RSS/Atom feed will provide a list of modifications, not a list of created/updated pages. This makes a big difference if a page is updated many times during several days. My weekly email digest is intended for an internal Wiki, in a fast-grown company where 60 computer users in 7 different services (20 users in 3 services one year ago) must share information (plannings, meetings, procedures, operating instructions, memorandum, etc.). I believe most of them won't parse a website to find some news. Even a Recent changes page won't be a solution, because they will have to remember to check this page from day to day. This is the reason why I choose email : this is the current main information source. 2015-02-14 16:47 GMT+01:00 Emmanuel Engelhart kel...@kiwix.org: On 14.02.2015 14:39, Georges DICK wrote: I installed Mediawiki (and a couple of extensions) as an intranet website.
