Hello,
I have inadvertently depressed some key and I've ended up with a hash
symbol '#' alongside the name of a RSS feed newsgroup. What does the
symbol mean and how can I get rid of it?
Thanks,
Colin Baxter.

The key that you have pressed is ‘#’ key. You can mark multiple articles
using ‘#’ key and then do some processing on all of them. For example,
expire them.
To get rid of the mark you can press either keys ‘M P u’ in sequence or
‘M-#’ i.e. meta+hash.

Thanks for this. Meta+hash worked for me. Instead of panicking I should
just did "C-h c #" to find the command "gnus-topic-mark-topic"! Thanks
again.
Best wishes,
Colin.

This is called the "process mark" and is just like marking files to
operate on in dired: marking articles to operate on. Marking per se is
harmless and temporary.
What can be done using the process mark can be discovered in the menu.
