Bug #: 34146
Summary: User Preferences watchlist section should show the
fully generated watch list RSS feed URL
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User preferences
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
When a user sets the "secret" Token for Watchlist RSS Feed on
https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Einstellungen&success#mw-prefsection-watchlist
, I suggest that the text should immediately indicate the correct Feed Url with
this token, or give at least the information, how the RSS Url looks like.
Such an information is missing.
We can also add a link to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Syndication#Watchlist_feed_with_token
(must be localised), but I prefer the first solution (add the resulting Feed
Url)
The current text is
"Filling in this field with a secret key will generate an RSS feed for your
watchlist. Anyone who knows the key in this field will be able to read your
watchlist, so choose a secure value. Here's a randomly generated value you can
use: aaa .... zzzz"
change to
"Filling in this field with a secret key will generate an RSS feed for your
watchlist. Anyone who knows the key in this field will be able to read your
watchlist, so choose a secure value. Here's a randomly generated value you can
use: aaa .... zzzz. Your Watch list feed url is then
//en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=feedwatchlist&wlowner=USERNAME&wltoken=TOKEN&feedformat=atom
or feedformat=rss
USERNAME and TOKEN replaced by the current values, of course.
