This bug is irrelevant as the feature it describes is covered by many individual bugs.

Comment 2

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

Reopening this, as this bug seems to be about providing one feed that lists everything.

This absolutely must happen before we switch to Kuma, otherwise we have no real ability to administrate the site and monitor for spam/p0rn/garbage/etc.

This bug needs some clarification. We have many Atom feeds, for demos, wiki pages, etc. By "feed of sitewide recent changes with details", do we mean a unified feed of everything everywhere?

In other words: Exactly what content should the feed for this bug contain?

Any changes to any articles on the entire wiki. That is, edits to article text, changes to styling of articles, addition or removal of tags, addition of deletion of attachments.

The actual changes made should also be shown in the feed itself; I do my doc reviews in a feed reader only clicking through to the article if there are fixes I need to make.

So pretty much a feed of all revisions including the diff?

Comment 7

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Yep.

Posting here to get attention of people following this bug: I've got a tentative pull request with a couple of questions about my implementation here:

Fix bug 671773: Feed of recent revisions

This provides a feed of the 50 latest Revisions made in the
wiki. Individual Revisions show up as follows:

* For the first Revision of a new Document, link to the Document with
  a 'document created' description.

* For Revisions of an existing Document, link to the compare view of
  this + previous Revision, with the edit comment as description.

Potential issue: there's no good way to share state amongst the feed
methods for an individual item, meaning we repeat the logic to figure
out if there's a previous Revision of the same Document. This makes
for a possibly-ugly number of DB queries, but I couldn't find a simple
way to get around that.
