- This extension is enabled by default on Fandom.
The RSS extension allows you to embed RSS feeds from any site onto a 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:
<rss>URL goes here</rss>
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 ("|"), like this:
<rss>https://wherever.com|short|date|max=4</rss>
Though no parameters are usually required, you can mix and match from the following list as you wish. That said, some feeds do need the charset=UTF-8 parameter. Try adding it if your feed displays oddly — or not at all.
| Parameter | Result |
|---|---|
short
|
Shows only the headline for each news item, not the description text. |
date
|
Shows the date/time stamp for each news item |
max=x
|
Allows you to choose the maximum number of items to show. |
highlight=term1 term2
|
The terms added here (separated by a space) are highlighted. |
filter=term1 term2
|
Only RSS items containing at least one of the listed terms are shown. |
filterout=term1 term2
|
No RSS items containing the listed terms are shown. |
reverse
|
The RSS items are displayed in reverse order |
charset=
|
The charset used by the feed. For example, you may need to use UTF-8 to view some characters. |
Example
To add some World Cup headlines direct from FIFA, you might use:
<div class="toc" style="width:80%; margin:auto;"> '''Keep up with the Cup:''' <rss>https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/rss.xml|output=rss|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=3</rss> </div>
This would give you:
Keep up with the Cup:
Google feeds
Clearly, one of the biggest news aggregators on the web is Google. Many wikis use Google feeds of one kind or another. Unfortunately, Google has made several changes to their news services over the years, and some wikis may not be displaying broken feeds as a result.
If your wiki's Google feed begins with "This feed is deprecated", you'll need to make a change.
The easiest thing to do is to copy and paste the following to your wiki, and change My+Topic+Here — both times — to whatever you need it to be:
<rss>https://news.google.com/news/rss/sfy/section/q/My+Topic+Here/My+Topic+Here?hl=en|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=3</rss>
For instance, let's say I wanted to get a newsfeed about Star Wars at Disneyland. I'd use this:
<rss>https://news.google.com/news/rss/sfy/section/q/Disneyland+Star+Wars/Disneyland+Star+Wars?hl=en|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=3</rss>
The result would be:

Google feeds in other languages
This same base code is adaptable to other languages, using Google's language codes. Often, but not always, those language codes are the same as FANDOM's language codes.
For instance, we'd make the feed French by altering the last bit of the URL to be ?hl=fr. However, this changes the context of the feed to emphasize Disneyland Paris over the original Disneyland in California.

Not every feed is available in all languages. For instance, using ?hl=es (or ?hl=es-419 — the specific code for Latin American Spanish) doesn't work with the "Disneyland Star Wars" newsfeed.
But if you look for just a simple "Star Wars" feed, it will at least work with Latin American Spanish.

Obviously, if you're looking for non-EN equivalents to feeds, you may have to tweak the RSS statement a bit.
Google feeds can be different for different users
It's possible, though generally unlikely, that you'll see one thing on a Google feed, but your friend will see another. Google's newsfeeds are in some ways:
- personalized to the browser and servers that you're using
- defined by the settings in your Google account, if you're signed in while viewing a feed
Can I embed feeds from my own wiki?
Yes, MediaWiki provides 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 this extension, to display portions of these lists on other pages on your community. See Help:Feeds for more information.
