I wrote about Wikisource the other day and it was read by people from the Italian Wikisource community. They did comment on it not being available on the planet.
The issue of access to my blog being limited to Wikipedia has been raised in the past. The suggestion was made that I should use the label "Wikipedia" more liberally. That is something I refused because it destroys the relevance of the label.
Some may consider this not the best way to get things changed. Other ways have been tried. This will however register (again) the reluctance to consider other projects. Projects that are essential to honour the aim of our foundation because not all knowledge is encyclopaedic.
Thanks,

You gotta be kidding us. Censorship? How can that be anyone's fault but yours? Just choose another label and edit http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planet_Wikimedia asking that your posts with that label are listed too.
Yes, I saw the word "censored" and thought "holy crap, show me who and I'll beat them senseless".
But there's no censorship here...
I have a script that takes all my Wikimedia-related blog posts, whether that's Wikipedia or Wikisource or whatever, aggregates them together into one RSS feed, and sends that to Planet Wikimedia.
Seriously not that hard to just ask someone to change the url used in /trunk/tools/planet/en/config.ini
Indeed it's just configuration. It has been like that since the blog was added.
Changed in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/110755
euh right. sometimes you take your hyperbole a bit far Gerard...
The planet system just requires one RSS/Atom feed. The feed you chose was the feed of your #wikipedia tag, so logically those are the only one to end up in the planet aggregator. So either add all your posts to en.planet (which robin has now done for you), or create a separate "en_wm_planet" tag and add it to all your posts that you want to end up in the planet. Really simple.
