Help:RSSPie

The RSSPie extension fetches and displays RSS feeds, such as a game's news or changes to wiki pages, on a wiki page using a simple tagging format.

Usage
Each RSS feed must use its own set of element tags. There are optional parameters available for the rss opening tag.

Whitelisting feeds
Before a feed can be used, it must be whitelisted. Whitelisting RSS feeds is controlled through the protected MediaWiki:Rss_Whitelist page. Simply insert one filter per line. A fully qualified URL may be entered or a partial URL using * wildcards. Adding * to its own line will whitelist all URLs.

Here are some examples of whitelisting. Note that the comments should not be included. https://www.gamepedia.com/news.rss -- A specific rss feed on one site https://www.gamepedia.com/*.rss -- Any feeds ending in .rss on one site https://www.gamepedia.com/* -- Any feeds from one site
 * /news.rss -- Any news.rss feed from any site

Example
This example displays a feed from Gampedia's home page with a maximum of six items displayed. https://www.gamepedia.com/news.rss https://www.gamepedia.com/news.rss

Another common use is creating a feed of a wiki's recent changes, like so: https://help.gamepedia.com/api.php?hidebots=1&days=7&limit=50&action=feedrecentchanges&feedformat=atom https://help.gamepedia.com/api.php?hidebots=1&days=7&limit=50&action=feedrecentchanges&feedformat=atom

Template for items in feeds
The template parser will substitute five pieces of information for each feed item as needed. - The URL

- Item Title

- Author's Name

- Epoch Date(Note: Display formatting is handled by Javascript in the browser.)

- Full description or summarized content.

Default MediaWiki:Rss_item_template template:   [ ] - -  

Migration from Extension:RSS

 * The date attribute was renamed to dateFormat. Please make sure to update the format to a PHP date compatible format.
 * The template attribute was renamed to itemTemplate and is the only template that needs to be edited. Simply copying the contents of Mediawiki:Rss-item to Mediawiki:Rss_item_template should suffice.
