Help:RSS

The RSS2Wiki extension allows you to embed RSS feeds from any site onto a Wikia page. This could be used to display news feeds with timely information on your subject, to show entries from a related blog, or to show recent changes from another wiki.

How do I add the RSS feed to a wiki page?
Locate the URL for a feed you would like to include, usually by clicking an "RSS" button or link on the page providing the feed. Copy the URL from the address bar.

The basic code to add an RSS feed to a page is:

URL goes here

How can I customize the feed?
There are a number of parameters you can add after the URL for the RSS feed to customize the display output. Each is separated by a pipe ("|") (as in links and templates). The available parameters are:

See below for an example of how the URL should look with parameters added.

Note: If your feed is not appearing on the wiki page after adding the tags and the feed URL, your next step should be adding the charset=UTF-8 parameter. Sometimes this may be required for the feed to work.

Example
To add some headlines from Google News inside a box, you might use:

Today's U.S. Headlines:

http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&topic=h&output=rss|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=4

This would give you:

Today's U.S. Headlines:

http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&topic=h&output=rss|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=4

Can I embed feeds from my own wiki?
Yes, MediaWiki provides web feeds in both RSS and Atom formats for all history pages and many special pages, including Special:RecentChanges, Special:NewPages, and Special:WantedPages. You can use the RSS URL, in combination with RSS2Wiki, to display portions of these lists on other pages on your wiki.
