Help:Solr2RSS

Wikia's Solr2RSS feature uses the search function to display an RSS feed of the newest articles across Wikia.

The feed can be limited to certain hubs (eg gaming, entertainment, Wikianswers), to certain languages, or to certain namespaces.

Wikis can also be excluded from the feed.

The feed includes the article title and contents, a link to the article, and the date the article was created.

The default number of results (rows) included in the feed is 15. The maximum is 100.

Example 1
http://answers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Solr2rss?q=hub:Wikianswers&rows=5&uselang=en&ns=0&exclude=xbox.answers.wikia.com

The URL above is an RSS feed for new articles on English Wikianswers wikis. 5 articles in the main namespace (ns=0) are included. All English Answers wikis except for Wikianswers Xbox are included.

Example 2
http://answers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Solr2rss?q=hub:Gaming&rows=3&uselang=es&ns=0

The URL above is an RSS feed for new articles on Spanish Gaming wikis. 3 articles in the main namespace (ns=0) are included.

Displaying the feed
You can view the feed in an RSS reader, or you can use the RSS2Wiki feature to display this feed on any Wikia page.

eg:

http://answers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Solr2rss?q=hub:Wikianswers&rows=5&uselang=en&ns=0&exclude=xbox.answers.wikia.com|short|date

displays as: http://answers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Solr2rss?q=hub:Wikianswers&rows=5&uselang=en&ns=0&exclude=xbox.answers.wikia.com|short|date

Using |short| hides the article content, showing only the article title.
