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.)
