Background / Description
The In the News module surfaces articles that have been substantially updated to reflect recent or current events of wide interest. It connects Wikipedia's encyclopedic content to the news cycle and gives readers a reliable, neutral reference point for understanding current events. This is one of the highest-value modules for readers who turn to Wikipedia to get context on what's happening in the world.
User Story
As a reader browsing the Community Picks feed, I want to see articles tied to current news events, so that I can quickly find Wikipedia's coverage of what's happening in the world today.
Requirements
- ✅ The module should display the title "In the news" with the subtitle "Articles that have been substantially updated to reflect recent or current events of wide interest"
- ✅ Content should be displayed as a horizontally scrollable card carousel, each card showing a thumbnail image and a short summary of the news event provided by the community, or the lede. Do not machine generate a summary
- ✅ Content should be sourced from the user's selected language wiki. If the module does not exist in the selected language wiki it should be hidden
