How pages are added as feed items

A page is auto added as a feed item if one the following conditions is met:

if you need to exclude a particular page that meets one of the conditions above, you can use frontmatter.feed.enable === false.

Details on how pages are filtered can be found in PLUGIN.is_feed_page().

The PLUGIN.is_feed_page() function is the default way of filtering the pages, you can override it using is_feed_page option (see Options section below).
