Here is how the wiki software determines what to include in the Wiki Rss feed. Test

Different flavors of the feed

Flavor	Contents	URL
Verbose	Topic contents up to the first horizontal line.	http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~WikiRss
Brief	First paragraph only.	http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~WikiRss&details=2
Topic title only	Just the title, no description.	http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~WikiRss&details=1

Different aspects of the feed
You can further refine the contents of the feed by restricting your query to particular name spaces.

For example, to view changes, "Topic title only" flavor, (see above) in the VFP or Software Engineering namespaces only, the URL would be:
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~WikiRss&details=1&ns=288
Note the "ns=288" in the URL above which is the addition of the VFP and Software Engineering values in the table below:

NameSpace	NameSpace &ns= URL Parameter (Additive)
VFP (2480 topics approx)	256
Software Engineering (1100 topics approx)	32
Windows COM and API (850 topics approx)	64
People (830 topics approx)	16
SQL (97 topics approx)	1024
VB (60 topics approx)	512
.Net (37 topics approx)	4096
B2B (33 topics approx)	2048

Regardless of the flavor of the feed, Wiki Editor Comments are included in the feed.

Topics Included:
These topics are included in the Wiki Rss feed:

• Only topics changed in the last 5 days., whether or not you checked the "Include page in Recent Changes list", similar to the Recent Changes X function
• Depending on the flavor of the feed, either only the content up to the first horizontal rule is included, or the first paragraph, or no description at all.

Topics Excluded
These topics will not appear in the Wiki Rss feed:

• Topics in the Wiki namespace.
• Topics with no assigned category.
• Topics with no content.
• Topics containing the "Work in Progress" image, as inserted by the # W # (without spaces) Wiki Macro.
• Underscore Topics

Of course, you'll need one of the many RSS Aggregator Programs.

Enhancement Request: Consider a lastBuildDate optional tag for the header, so automated processes can figure out when they last read the feed.

Enhancement Request: How about a "headlines only" feed for those of us who want to come to the site to read the article, but skim hundreds of headlines in our aggregators, perhaps in the form of an optional parameter, or as a different link, using an XML transform similar to the XML magic on the wgcs page? -- tr Done!-- Steven Black
