Help:Feeds

A web feed is a data format used for serving frequently updated content to users. A content provider makes feeds available and may publish the feed link on their site. Users can subscribe to the feed using an aggregator application (also called a feed reader or a news reader) running on their computer. Some web browsers also have native options for feeds, such as Live Bookmarks in Firefox.

Wikia provides outgoing RSS and Atom feeds for some wiki pages, and wiki pages can display incoming RSS feeds from other sites.

Which Wikia pages provide feeds?
RSS and Atom feeds are available for individual articles and for certain special pages. When you visit the page in question, you can append the page's URL with ?feed=rss or ?feed=atom to access the feed URL. If the URL already has elements that use the ? and = characters, you will need to include the & character in front of the feed elements, like &?feed=rss or &?feed=atom

Changes to any wiki

 * Use the URL for the wiki's Recent Changes page
 * Example: The RSS feed URL for recent changes on the Muppet wiki: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?feed=rss

New pages added to any wiki

 * Use the URL for the wiki's New Pages page
 * Example: The RSS feed URL for recent changes on the Muppet wiki: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Special:NewPages?feed=rss

Changes to any wiki article

 * Use the URL for the article's history page
 * Example: The RSS feed URL for the Muppet wiki Main Page: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Muppet_Wiki?action=history&?feed=rss
 * Note that the addition of the & is needed here, since the feed element follows ?action=history

How do I publish RSS content from another site?
The basic syntax is. See Help:RSS2Wiki for more options.

Facebook Social Plugins
There are a new set of wikitext tags you can use to include Facebook widgets anywhere on your site. (If you're using the default editor, you'll need to switch to source mode to use these.)

Like box
The like box will display a widget about a topic.





Parameters
facebook documentation
 * name="wikia"
 * This specifies the name of the page the box will display.


 * profile_id="137757569592918"
 * The Facebook Page Id. Many wikis will have to use this instead of 'name' because Facebook will currently only let you choose a name if the page already has 25 "like"s.

Live stream
The live stream box is for allowing people to update status around an event, like a finale or a movie release.





Comments
The comment box allows users to post a comment about the current page.





Like
Adds a like button that allows users to like the current page.





Login button
Adds a login button.



</fb:login-button>

Parameters
The text within the two tags will determine what text the button will show.
