Can someone please increase the timeout value of the RSS Feed extension.
I suggest to 15 seconds.
See if this has a positive effect on page [[User:Subfader/RSS]], where many feeds are not rendered due to timeouts.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
I suggest to upgrade the version in MediaWiki to at least the extension RSS version 2.10 as committed in r112467 and to set parameters as indicated. The current version used on MediaWiki (1.90) is outdated.
The 2.10 version fixes many bugs, and allows to parse ATOM feeds.
The custom parameters should be:
<pre>
$wgRSSUrlWhitelist = array( "*" ); // or a list of actually used feeds, see for example page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Subfader/RSS
$wgRSSUrlNumberOfAllowedRedirects = 1;
$wgRSSFetchTimeout=15;
</pre>

The code needs reviewing. When it is reviewed and merged to master, it'll be live on WMF sites within a couple of weeks.

Yes, I know. Will be done end about end of May 2012.
