[Mediawiki-l] News, events and forum

> How do I do news, events and forum pages on mediawiki?

That a rather unspecific request.

Not sure about news - do you want to aggregate RSS feeds from news sites 
like CNN.com or BBC.co.uk?
Or do you want something like WikiNews.

For events, the Calendar extension could be useful:

Also see the recent thread(s) on this issue.

As for forums, there is AWC's Forum Extension:

Not having used that myself, I'm not sure whether it works with the 
latest MW version (though I believe Wikia uses it).

HTH.
