The RSS user contributions feed <link> attribute is incorrect. For the Atom feed, the <link> attribute is >http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&feed=atom&target=[username] But for the RSS feed, the <link> attribute is >http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions
WORKSFORME in Monobook. Was this observed in a different skin?
Actually, the problem is also present in Atom feeds. See by example >http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&feed=rss&target=Addbot and >http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&feed=atom&target=Addbot *And* the correct link would be >http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=[username] Or for the example : >http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Addbot
Updating summary to clarify that the issue is with the link back to the HTML *in* the feed, not the link from the HTML *to* the feed. It's using the special page title (Special:Contributions) correctly but is missing the target, making the link back not too useful.
