      Hi

      i have been trying to find a way to get simple random info form “on this day” from wikipedia, but with no luck.
      I’m looking for something like the rss feed on MM or a module that can pull random info from the page. in my case i need it in Norwegian.

      some one that have ideas or a module/system that can do this.
      i am no coder so i need some help for this.

      Norwegian:
      https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dagen_i_dag

      English:
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:On_this_day/Today

          but i am completely new on coding and mm.

          any chance you know how to add the norwegian version of wikipedia and how to install it to MM?

            Oh, and there is @cowboysdude’s MMM-History module.

            “Today in History” links to the parser that gets the info from Wiki, I’m sure it could parse the Norwegian Wikipedia. I may look into it as I’m also interested in a non-english version of this.
