Religionwiki:RSS2Wiki

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:
<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 outpt. Each is separated by a pipe ("|") (as in links and templates). The available parameters are:
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 headlines from Google News inside a box, you might use:
Today's U.S. Headlines:
<rss>http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&topic=h&output=rss|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=4</rss>
This would give you:
Today's U.S. Headlines:
<rss>http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&topic=h&output=rss|charset=UTF-8|short|date|max=4</rss>
==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.
