Current Events Viewer[edit]
An app that shows a list of current events happening in the world retrieved from Portal:Current_events. This current events page does not display events older than seven days. That is, if today’s date is 18/03/2019 the page will show only events that happened from 12/03/2019 to 18/03/2019. However, events older than seven days are automatically archived which means that a user can choose any date on the calendar and still get the events that happened on that day. Users can also add the page to their watchlist.
APIs
- API:Parsing wikitext
- API:Watch
- API:Login- using the Watch module requires a user to be logged in hence the need to integrate the Login module into the app.
