:::Okay, I'll update it weekly with a few news stories until Al returns.

::::Alright sounds good. I hope you just add external links because its easy. I really dont think there's a lot to gain if the extract/text archiving is done too but I think you said that it keeps the visitor on the site (they can always press 'back'). Its up to you. I wanted to find a feature that allows us to open links in a new window if we ask it to but I couldn't find it. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 16:47, 21 February 2014 (PST) | ::::Alright sounds good.

There are several benefits gained from the format we are currently using (in addition to keeping visitors on the site): | |||
#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 Al adds news about LGBT issues, converts, apostates, statistics etc., he usually adds it to our relevant articles ("Persecution of...", "Converts to Islam" etc.). If he was no longer quoting these news pages, then those other pages would never be updated. [[User:Sahab|--Sahab]] ([[User talk:Sahab|talk]]) 17:48, 21 February 2014 (PST) | |||
