I can't follow you there: How can he then distinguish real new entreis
from entries already present at the last run?

I don't think thats bad: An updated entry might be interesting, too,
even for other feeds. But you could just add a workaround specific for
mediawiki feeds. I'm sure there is some feature in their RSS feed that
you can use to detect this, and enable the workaround for mediawiki only
