Easiest way to have an RSS feed with group contributions

It would be very easy to set up a WordPress blog with multiple contributors, either on your own server or free at wordpress.com. Mind you, Blogger would also work fine.

Wikipedia RSS – How to Get RSS Feeds for Articles Created

You can get the feed if you check out the New pages watch and filter for your name only.

Toolbox > Special Pages > Recent changes and logs > New pages
Enter your Wikipedia handle in the Username: field
Hit Go

You'll then get results showing all the newly created pages started by that username.

Grab the "Special:New pages" Atom feed that is created for that result output.

The URL for that will look like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewPages&feed=atom&hideliu=&hidepatrolled=&hidebots=&hideredirs=1&limit=50&namespace=0&username=USERNAME

Replace USERNAME in the above with yours.
