Steps

Subscribe to the notifications RSS feed to follow the events you have chosen to be notified about from your own feed reader, without opening the wiki.

  1. Open the notifications menu from the bell in the top bar.

    The bell icon at the right end of the top bar, carrying the unread notifications badge

  2. Click RSS Feed in the header of the menu.

    The RSS Feed link in the header of the open notifications menu, beside Settings

  3. Copy the feed address from your browser's address bar.
  4. Add that address to your feed reader as a new feed.
  5. Refresh the feed in your reader. It now carries one entry per notification, from the feed document the wiki serves:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <rss version="2.0">
      <channel>
        <title>Notifications RSS feed</title>
        <link>https://wiki.example.org/xwiki/bin/get/XWiki/Notifications/Code/NotificationRSSService?outputSyntax=plain</link>
        <description>This RSS feed can be customized on your profile page.</description>
        <item>
          <title>The page "Meeting Notes" has been modified</title>
          <!-- the description holds the event as HTML, the way the notifications menu renders it -->
          <guid isPermaLink="false">727517078-1791462708000-sMtDqGdI</guid>
        </item>
        <!-- one item per notification, 20 at most -->
      </channel>
    </rss>

FAQ

Does the feed follow my notification settings?

Yes. It is built from your settings rather than from a fixed list, so an event type you enable or a location you stop watching changes what your feed reader shows. Change the Notification Settings.
