 ==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.
+# It keeps visitors on the site rather than directing them to an external link
-** 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.)
