Want to be notified when a page on this Wiki changes? It's easy.

Watch list

At the top of every page is a Watch tab.

  1. Login to wiki.secondlife.com .
  2. Go to a page you want to watch.
  3. Click the Watch link.

Updates appear on your My watchlist page, whose link is always shown towards the top-right of the page. You can watch as many pages as you'd like.

The Wiki also offers to inform you via e-mail when a page on your watchlist is changed. To activate this feature, proceed as follows:

  1. Access your preferences.
  2. Enter a valid e-mail in the E-mail: field.
  3. Check the E-mail me when a page on my watchlist is changed checkbox.
  4. Click the Save button.
  5. You'll receive an e-mail (might need to look in your spam folder) where you'll need to confirm that this is really your e-mail address. Afterwards, you'll receive a notification for each change to a page on your watchlist.

RSS & Atom

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom (Atom Publishing Protocol) let you subscribe to a page. Updates appear in a "feed" which is automatically updated. On a supported browser like Firefox 3.5, on any regular wiki page you'll see a "History" link on top of the page. Clicking it will lead you to the article's revision history. You'll see an RSS icon (Feed-icon.png) in the location bar of your browser. For example, for this page, it's https://wiki.secondlife.com/w/index.php?title=Subscribe&feed=rss&action=history. Click that icon to get the page's RSS link. You can bookmark this or add it to a feed reader.

You can also subscribe to the feed of all changes in the Second Life Wiki. To do so, browse to Special:RecentChanges and proceed as before. Or look in the Toolbox on the bottom of the sidebar. It will display links for RSS and Atom.

The same is possible for any Category page, such as Category:Knowledge Base. However, there have been reports that these feeds seemed to be incomplete when accessed via RSS.
