Options for updating news
There are different options for updating news on the main page:
- Turn the news section off
- Have it automatically generated through Google news RSS (needs RSS extension for mediawiki)
- Update it with only external links (easy)
- Update while saving extracts of news on the site. This involves the most work but the advantages of this option are:
- It's like our very own news site/blog (like how Wikipedia's news section links to WikiNews).
- We want WikiIslam to be an all-in-one resource. This helps us achieve that. When it had been updated regularly, many readers have commented positively on it, mentioning how WikiIslam is the only site they need.
- When news is added about LGBT issues, converts, apostates, statistics etc., it can also be added it to the relevant articles ("Persecution of...", "Converts to Islam" etc.)
