  "textContent": "**_Murdoch_\n2026 June 9 (Tuesday), 2:18PM**\n· mediawiki-feeds · RSS · Toolforge · Wikimedia ·\n\nYesterday someone \nmessaged me about an issue with a wonky little tool I\nwrote ten years ago. I actually the thing, because it creates feeds for a couple of things I follow on wikis, but as is often the way with RSS-related code I'd forgotten all about it — it just keeps working and doesn't need any changes.\n\nBut I fixed it up a bit to sort out their issue, and in doing so also upgraded a few bits of it and moved the code to GitLab. It also seems that on 22 March this year it got popular for some reason: twenty-two thousand hits in a day. I guess it was stupid scrapers, but I'll look a bit closer and also try to sort out some more aggressive caching.\n\n\n Traffic to the tool over the last 12 months. (I'm not quite sure how to make the toolviews tool show with more contrast; there are actually axes in this image!)\n\n← Previous\n\nMy main RSS news feed: https://samwilson.id.au/news.rss\n(or Wikimedia.rss, Fremantle.rss, OpenStreetMap.rss, etc. for topic feeds).\nEmail me at `sam  samwilson.id.au` or leave a comment below…",
