    Capitalization on front page

    [edit]

    Shouldn't "including prime minister Ahmed al-Rahawi." be changed to "including Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi." per MOS:JOBTITLES Wamalotpark (talk) 22:01, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Wamalotpark, you should post this to Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates#(Posted) August 2025 Israeli attacks on Yemen, where this news item is discussed. —⁠andrybak (talk) 00:45, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Feature request: RSS feed

    [edit]

    I’m a longtime reader of the current events portal, and I’ve been using a third-party RSS feed to consume it. Sometime within the last couple of weeks, that third-party feed stopped updating. It would be great to have an officially supported RSS feed that updates daily instead of relying on fragile third-party solutions. Exchgr (talk) 15:09, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I was probably relying on the same feed as you. A new one is available at RSSHub 116.48.127.99 (talk) 17:16, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The "Ongoing" tab has typically has a link to the current events portal. The link now appears to be gone. I am curious as to why this has happened.🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 21:15, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I second this, I strongly support this link being re-instated, as I believe this is the most obvious spot for this link to go. Cheers! Johnson524 21:26, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Per discussion at Wikipedia talk:In the news#Should there be a link to Portal:Current Events? (permanent link). —⁠andrybak (talk) 00:52, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a disgrace, Joe.
    The link should definitely come back, having unclickable dead text, still in bold mind you!, makes very little sense to me, especially on the front page. If it's not clickable I think it should be removed entirely 109.79.9.127 (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I fully agree - strong support for link being reinstated. Houstonnotfromtx (talk) 06:47, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed. It's particularly discordant because the Recent Deaths link is still clickable. 157.182.216.4 (talk) 08:26, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Same with "More current events" on the Portal:Current events page. Doyna Yar (talk) 13:31, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The reason that is not clickable is because the target page is the page you are viewing. - Fuzheado | Talk 14:19, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I too was surprised that "Ongoing" was not linked anymore. But then I realized that further down in the box, there is a new, logical "More current events" link that points to Portal:Current events. To the average visitor, that is much more descriptive and makes a lot more sense. However, that doesn't necessarily preclude us keeping the "Ongoing" link for legacy purposes. There's no shame in having two paths to the same content. - Fuzheado | Talk 14:21, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
