Greek language addition for the API endpoint "On this day in history"

Hello, I am a Greek junior developer and I'd love to initiate or help create an API endpoint for the unsupported Greek language of the "On this day in history" section. The problem is that I don't know how to start or who should I contact. Could you please help me? :) Prokopos (talk) 21:01, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Prokopos, thanks for reaching out! I'm not very familiar with how the underlying API works, but I believe it looks for specific elements on the relevant Wikipedia pages. The first step is to log in to Wikimedia Phabricator, and create a task tagged with "Wikifeeds". (For help with Phabricator, see mw:Phabricator/Help.) For examples of similar tasks, see phab:T279243 and phab:T308096. You can find the codebase for the Wikifeeds service at: mediawiki/services/wikifeeds and instructions for submitting a patch at mw:Gerrit/Tutorial. For examples of similar patches, see gerrit:678326 and gerrit:742171. Hope this helps! --APaskulin (WMF) (talk) 23:12, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
