WikiIslam talk:Latest News: Difference between revisions

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. Advantages of this option:
  • 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 was updated regularly, many readers 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.)
