Feeds

Follow News in any feed reader. Every feed is Atom, updated as Browse reads Wikipedia (the front every five minutes, a story every ten). Nothing is asked of you, and Browse keeps no list of who reads a feed.

The front

• /news/feed.xml: every line Wikipedia's Current events listed in the last three days, as the News page reads it.

Topics

Each topic is a set of Wikipedia's own headings; the feed holds the lines its editors filed under them.

• /news/topic/world/feed.xml: World (Armed conflicts and attacks; International relations).
• /news/topic/politics/feed.xml: Politics (Politics and elections).
• /news/topic/business/feed.xml: Business (Business and economy).
• /news/topic/science/feed.xml: Science & Tech (Science and technology).
• /news/topic/disasters/feed.xml: Disasters (Disasters and accidents).
• /news/topic/law/feed.xml: Law & crime (Law and crime).

Any story

Add /feed.xml to a story's address: /news/story/<Wikipedia title>/feed.xml. Every story page links its own feed under “Follow by feed”.

What an entry holds

• One line, quoted as Wikipedia's editors wrote it, under the story heading it sits in.
• The outlets the editors cite for it, each linked to the publisher's own page.
• When the editors first listed it (from Wikipedia's own edit history), and how many times its words changed since; when that history could not be read, the time Browse read the list.
• The day's page and the revision Browse read, and the licence: Wikipedia contributors, CC BY-SA 4.0.

What a feed never holds

A headline Browse wrote, a ranking, a summary, or a picture from a publisher. Browse writes none of the news; a feed carries the source's words and where they came from.
