           Summary: Don't make me choose between Atom and RSS
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: jruder...@gmail.com


Offering both Atom and RSS feeds makes subscription UI in Firefox and Safari
confusing.  Wikipedia should pick one format and make all the <link rel>s point
there.

For geeks, it's just a slowdown, but for a first-time feed user, it's the
difference between being presented with a meaningless list they'll probably
dismiss and being presented with a preview of the feed.

meaningless and intimidating question is yet another barrier to taking
advantage of this technology."
