WikiIslam talk:Latest News: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:03, 22 February 2014

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.)
