split $wgDefaultUserOptions['rcdays'] into two variables
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

$wgDefaultUserOptions['rcdays'] affects two different things:

  1. the default Special:RecentChanges&days=
  2. the default Special:RecentChanges&feed=...&days=

It is maddening to try to make available longer or shorter RSS feeds
without at the same time influencing what users see on
Special:RecentChanges, and visa versa.

The solution is to split $wgDefaultUserOptions['rcdays'] into two
options, (yes, initially set to the same value by default there in
DefaultSettings.php.)

Yes, one could tell the user to remember to add a &days to &feed, but that is only for power users.

Version: 1.16.x

If we add RSS feed as one of the API formats, then creation of fancy custom Recent Changes feeds should be possible.

Well this is actually possible now by adjusting days parameter in the feed URL.
