Talk:Wikimedia Apps/Feeds

Basic information
Please fill the project template. Nemo 11:35, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Term
Why call this thing "feeds" rather than "suggestions" or "recommendations" or similar? A "feed" is typically time-based. Speaking of which, I recommend dropping the idea to promote recentism, which hardly fits with the Wikimedia mission. "Trending articles" and "In the news" would significantly reduce the utility of Wikipedia. Nemo 11:32, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * "Feeds" is more of an internal name. In the iOS app, for example, the external name is "Explore." I agree that recentism is a negative in the context of editing specific articles, but I don't really see an issue in encouraging users to read more Wikipedia articles related to current events.

Home page display
Do I understand correctly that you want to stop showing the main page of each project as first thing in the app? This would mean that the app has a different home than the website and that editors would no longer be in control of the home; I hope I misunderstood. If you really wanted to do such a thing, you'd need an enormous consensus; I'd suggest to contact at least all the editors who edit the main page (and transcluded pages thereof) of each Wikimedia wiki. --Nemo 11:38, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
