Forum:IRC Feed Requests

=PURPOSE=
 * The purpose of this page is to request changes for the Wikia raw RC feed so that it can be utilized more efficiently.

=REQUEST=

Combined feed
In order to better distinguish the wiki (especially for log entries) outputted through the combined raw feed, it is suggested that  is added to the beginning of the item in question so

Page M/N URL * User * (+/-/0) Summary

turns into

Wikia:wikiname:Page M/N URL * User * (+/-/0) Summary

and similarly for logs ( Special:Log/... turns into Wikia:wikiname:Special:Log/... ).

The only change is the addition of

Possible individual feeds
If a wiki or a group of wikis (especially large ones) wish to have a freenode cvn channel dedicated to their RC(s), individual output channel(s) that only report those wikis will have to be created on the actual Wikia IRC feed server. Those channels should be named #wikiname.wikia (unless otherwise stated) , and the output format should be:

Page M/N URL * User * (+/-/0) Summary

and similarly for logs ( Special:Log/... ).

There is NO  inserted.

Note

 * Additional customizations are made through CVN BOTS and do NOT require further modification of the actual RAW FEED. Such requests should be brought up with CVN staff instead.

 * Instead of Wikia:, because it's a bit long, and would be confusing with the Wikia: Namespace on central. What about the w: interwiki instead. w: Is a legal interwiki which works on all wiki including central, Wikia: works on every wiki except central. So why not use a globally legal interwiki, which also won't take up space in the limited amount of space in IRC. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Sep 23, 2007 @ 08:18 (UTC)

 * Cometstyles 04:30, 23 September 2007 (UTC) - there are many ideas stated but fixing the special:log is a priority and also individual channels for big wikis is a great idea.
