Anyone knows how to use RSS? For example, if I want to be notified when there's a new edit on my watchlist, how do I do that? Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 12:55, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

: There's a link to the Atom feed on your watchlist page; you can change the feedformat=atom at the end to feedformat=rss if you really need RSS. Then you need some RSS client, which you give that link to. Or you can find various RSS/ATOM alert programs, plugins, or apps, which will notify you when the RSS changes. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 13:07, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

::{{replyto|Finlay McWalter}} I have [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-feed-reader/pnjaodmkngahhkoihejjehlcdlnohgmp this] extension. In the extension, I "subscribed" to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=feedwatchlist&allrev=1&wlowner=DatGuy&wltoken=8569d294b1200b95caa46fe13bc59cf831443217&feedformat=atom this]. Now what do I do? Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 13:12, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

:See the list of podcatchers, I took gpodder, installed it and feed it STRG+L with http://feeds.twit.tv/sn.xml

:When googling for RSS or podcast, type also XML. --Hans Haase (有问题吗) 13:31, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 8.3. Last night I reset my iPhone settings, and when it restarted the mobile data option wasn't there, the Carrier option wasn't available either, even though I get the signal and I can phone and text just fine. The Carrier option was usually right below the Mobile option, but now it's gone.

I can only see Airplane Mode * WiFi * Bluetooth * Mobile. When I opened the Mobile option, it used to have the following options Mobile Data * Enable 3G * Mobile Data Network (or something, this is where I created the APN)... But now that option is gone as well. I reset the network settings twice, reset the iPhone settings three times. Took out the SIM card twice as well... Restored a backup from months ago, and nothing happened! Any ideas? The only thing I have left to do is upgrade iOS. Thanks a lot in advance. Miss Bono ^{[hello, hello!]} 13:51, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

:Have you tried a hard reset? Is the phone jailbroken? Ruslik_Zero 19:50, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

:{{ping|Miss Bono}} After doing the reset, did you enable wifi and do an update or allow enough time for updates to start automatically? Akld guy (talk) 06:01, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

::There is a specific "reset network settings" option under settings > general > reset, you could try that, it should reload all the network settings from the carrier. Vespine (talk) 01:27, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

:::I can't automatically update my phone through wifi where I live. It's jailbroken. I had to upgrade iOS and it worked that way. But now there's no jailbreak available for it and I cannot install apps. VShare is not working. Miss Bono ^{[hello, hello!]} 16:32, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
