Description

Author: bugs

Description:
If the "feed" parameter is anything other than "rss" or "atom", MediaWiki crashes because it tries to create an instance of an invalid class (includes/ChangesFeed.php, line 16). See URL for a live example right now in the live Wikipedia.

It should instead detect that the feed format is not valid and give an HTTP 500 error.

Version: 1.14.x
Severity: major
