Not sure if it was asked before, is there a way to make an RSS feed for a separate page?
See http://community.wikidot.com/help:rss for a documentation of Wikidot RSS feeds.
I'm not sure what you mean with “an RSS feed for a separate page” though …
If my site is "site.wikidot.com", then "site.wikidot.com/feed/site-changes.xml" will notify me for changes over the entire site (that is changes on any page of the site).
But I want a feed to notify me when the content only on a given page has changed, not the entire site.
E.g. for "site.wikidot.com/page1", I need something like "site.wikidot.com/page1/feed/page-changes.xml".
> a feed to notify me when the content only on a given page has changed
Add it to your watched pages and use feed http://site.wikidot.com/feed/watched/page-changes.xml
Or, tag the page and use http://site.wikidot.com/feed/pages/tags/tag-list
If you can live with being notified for a full category of pages, you may use http://site.wikidot.com/feed/pages/category/category-list
For more details on the mentioned feeds, refer to http://community.wikidot.com/help:rss
Aha, I got it now. Thank you!
So then, a different question now, is there a way to let non-registered visitors of a page, who are not allowed to view the "history" link, to grab the feed from the page? (I was not able to find anything on this in http://community.wikidot.com/help:rss.)
I personally prefer everyone to be able to track a specific page for changes. There is a limitation to watch no more than 10 pages, which doesn't make me happy, too.
The “watched” feeds need authentication, so you need to be a registered user.
Non-registered users might use one of the two other suggested feeds.
I have a different variety of the question. I have a blog http://conceptspace.wikidot.com
I want mozilla to detect the blog feed and allow auto subscription.
This facility works for page comments but not for the custom blog feed I define. The blog feed is not the published one for mozilla subscription.
When l look at mozilla docs, I see I would have to do:
<LINK REL="alternate" TITLE="Our Site's RSS" HREF="http://www.domain.com/rss/index.xml" TYPE="application/rss+xml">
Is there a way to do this in wikidot?
I tried this suggestion "Or, tag the page and use http://site.wikidot.com/feed/pages/tags/tag-list" but I only get a notification when a new page has been created. There are no notifications for source changes on the tagged pages (I do get these notifications using …/feed/site-changes.xml, but then for all pages of my site).
Is it just me, or does the feed-type "http://wiki-name.wikidot.com/feed/pages/tags/tag-list/t/feed-title" not really track "any changes to pages tagged with tag-list" as described on page http://community.wikidot.com/help:rss ?
As a work-around, is there a service like FeedBurner that can be used to filter the original feed so as to send on only notifications that fulfill certain criteria (like the name of the page to be tracked)?
Gmail has some useful filtering options. You could modify it a bit further down the line from FeedBurner and instead just send anything that does not fit a certain filter to the trash. (e.g. You can filter by subject. The page name is contained in the email's subject…)

Thanks for your suggestions.
I am using Pipes (http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/) now to filter the original feed and then Google FeedBurner (http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/home) to publish the resulting page feed. Works beautifully (and free-of-charge).
