Description
Currently, if you go to a category archive page (eg. /categories/cat-name) the link rel in the header simply outputs the main blog feed. There is no way to tell -- including from view source -- that there are per category / tag feeds available.
This might just be a general enhancement to bloginfo(rss2_url) -- it could auto detect what page it is on and just "do the right thing" -- otherwise you end up having to manually edit the PHP of the header of themes to put logic in for this.
Change History
- Type changed from enhancement to defect (bug)
OK, I'm actually going to call this a bug, rather than an enhancement / feature. If there is a feed available for the blog / category / tag / page you are on, the auto discovery link in the header should show it.
The "main feed" can also show (multiple link rel=feed are allowed), but the feed for the page you are on should be first.

I will take a look.
It appears this issue was addressed (at least partially) by https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8878
So if you view source: http://drhailin.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/
You can see <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Dr. Hailin blog » Uncategorized Category Feed" href=" http://drhailin.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/feed/" />
Let me know if this is not sufficient, or if you have better ideas.
- Status changed from assigned to closed
- Resolution set to duplicate
- Milestone 2.8 deleted
closing as dup of #8878, which fixed it.

Moving enhancements to 2.8.
