Adding an RSS feed for Portal:Current events

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Hi! Firstly, apologies if this is not the right way to ask for administrator help—I'm not used to how these things work yet.

As mentioned on the Portal:Current events talk page, there have been requests over the years to generate an RSS feed for current events. I've asked whether there were any objections to this, but frankly I can't think of any (happy to wait for potential replies for a few more days, if you think that would be good). So I think it's time to get this done!

It should be fairly straightforward if we use the MediaWiki/FeaturedFeeds extension. Per the extension docs, the following steps are needed:

Create the feed page under MediaWiki:Ffeed-currentevents-page ("currentevents" would be the feed's name). It seems that only an administrator can create this page.
Add the following as the page's source: Portal:Current events/{{#time:Y F j}}

If I understand the docs correctly, feed config also needs to be added to the global FeaturedFeeds settings:

feed name, e.g. "currentevents"
feed title, e.g. "Wikipedia Current events"
feed description, e.g. "Wikipedia list of daily news entries with links to background articles."
"expression that evaluates to the title of the page with today's feed entry", e.g. Portal:Current events/{{#time:Y F j}}
name of a feed entry, e.g. {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}} current events

I'm not sure where to look at current settings for existing Wikipedia feeds (article of the day, picture of the day, on this day), it would probably be best to take a look to make sure that these assumptions are correct.

All of this should generate a feed at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=featuredfeed&feed=currentevents. It is essentially the same as existing featured page feed, with a slightly different syntax for #time to match the format of Current event page names (for example "2025 January 10").

Could someone set this up? (Ideally someone who's already dealt with FeaturedFeeds, since there might be gotchas that I'm not aware of.) Robinmetral (talk) 09:09, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One thing that's different about the Current events feed is that the entry for, let's say, January 10 should land in the feed on January 11 (because the date pages are continuously updated throughout the day). I wonder if there's a way to insert this logic in the #time function? Robinmetral (talk) 11:53, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This may perhaps be better suited to Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab) or Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) depending on how robust your concept is. You can read the expectations for each page in the yellow box at the top of each page. Good luck!-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:30, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
