I've been subscribed to these for a few days and the volume is overwhelming.

While this is a much more convenient way to see a list of which pages 
have changed, the description is simply a truncated version of the page 
content, so it doesn't help to see what the changes *are* without 
following the link and then clicking the diff view at the bottom of the 
page. Can we stick a diff in the RSS description?

Also, some better indication of when a notification is for page creation 
rather than an edit would be good (ie use "Created: SomeWikiPage" for 
the posting title).

Cheers,
