== Requesting unprotection ==
Hi, can you please unprotect my user page ([[User:Daniel]])? It has some sort of legacy protection that prevents me from editing it. Need to clean up. Thanks, [[User:Daniel|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Daniel|talk]]) 02:02, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

== Administrative matters for the closure ==
Could the admins check with the Foundation to find out what ''time'' on May 4 they intend to make Wikinews read-only? (I'm not saying that this information should necessarily be publicized, since someone might exploit it to sneak some self-promotion onto the site at the last minute. But the admins should know.)
On a related note, could the admins make sure that the [[Wikinews:Newsroom|Newsroom]] is cleared out by the last day? The list of "Incorrectly flagged articles", for example, is baffling enough with Wikinews being active; we don't need to have them confuse people for the rest of the Internet's lifespan. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 01:07, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
: {{tq|could the admins make sure that the Newsroom is cleared out by the last day}}
: Yes. I am working through as much of the archival work as I can. At present, I am not aware of any other administrator undertaking similar efforts. I have reached out to one administrator who has left a number of incomplete changes, but they appear to have disengaged. Given that, I am focusing on what can reasonably be addressed without taking on additional cleanup beyond routine, shutting-things-down-type work.
: There are some things the 'crats typically need to do and I've pinged them in some cases to close discussions such as requests for permissions. As we get closer to D-Day, if nothing is done, I'll close more things down myself if necessary.
: Regarding the incorrectly flagged articles, one major issue is the absence of a documented procedure for retracting articles, particularly in relation to [[:Category:No publish]]. A practical short-term fix would be to include all retracted stories in that category, or alternatively disable the DPL as the project winds down (DPL would likely be disabled as part of the mothballing process anyway).
: That approach would leave the record as-is, including its shortcomings. At minimum, it preserves a complete account of how these issues were or were not handled, which may be of value to anyone reviewing the project in the future.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 01:36, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

::: DPL is [[mw:Extension:DynamicPageList (third-party)]]. It is used not only on the Newsroom page, but also on the main page and all infoboxes (and more). <br> Our use of it (or rather ru.WN's use) has some [[w:User_talk:Jimbo_Wales/Archive_247#The_Wikimedia_Foundation_broke_Russian_Wikinews_again|history]]. We should have migrated off of it long ago. Part of me wonders if that factored in to the SPTF's decision to close Wikinews. <br> At any rate, it will no doubt be disabled, leaving an error on every page that uses it. I'm not sure how to change all of our infoboxes so that they still return something useful once DPL is disabled and the site is read-only. And there isn't enough of a community left to try to figure it out, either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:17, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

== In anticipation of DPL being disabled ==
I've started working through [[:Category:Event infoboxes]] removing DPL and replacing it with static lists. It's time-consuming and I alone won't get through all infoboxes, before the project is marked read-only and DPL likely is disabled.
All admin are encouraged to help. See the edit histories of the following as examples of how I do it:
[[Template:2005 London bombing infobox]]<br>
[[Template:2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict]]<br>
[[Template:2006EuropeanChampionshipsAthletics]]<br>
[[Template:2007 Iranian seizure of Royal Navy personnel]]<br>
[[Template:2007 Taipei 101 Run Up]]<br>
[[Template:2007 Taipei IT Month]]
We'll need to do similar work on normal infoboxes, which are more complicated, as well as the Main page, etc.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 14:40, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
:I was going to suggest raw HTML or even [[:mw:subst:|subst:]] the templates. How were you doing it, Michael?

::Some of the infoboxes are not admin-protected, so I will help with replacing the DPL with static lists where I can. I just did that for [[Template:War in Georgia (2008)]]. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 15:55, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
:: Using subst might be a much better solution...[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 12:26, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:: {{tq|Are you looking at the web page's code and copy/pasting the HTML?}}
:: Yes, that is essentially what I'm doing. Several categories of infoboxes are 'cookie-cutter' in that they are set up the same. For example, most of the [[:Category:Country infoboxes]] are set up the same, so it's relatively easy to rebuild them slightly and copy/paste the DPL output as a static list using wikitext. I linked to two examples [[#c-Michael.C.Wright-20260413171000-Country_Infoboxes|below]] and have since done several in the same manner. It is more pragmatic than ideal, and better alternatives are welcome.
:: We still have roughly {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pages using the DynamicPageList extension}} pages using DPL—most of them are likely articles with infoboxes that use DPL. So there is less work than actually having to touch that many individual pages.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 19:16, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

:::I have also done the following:
:::[[Template:WDSC2007]]<br>
:::[[Template:Tour de France 2007]]
:::So I recommend that the admins focus on the protected templates and leave the unprotected templates for editors like me to handle. Each template takes only a few minutes to edit. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 16:07, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
:::: Much appreciated and I'll start focussing only on protected first.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 12:27, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
*{{ping|Michael.C.Wright}} Is there a reason not to keep using [[Template:Infosection]] in these infoboxes, rather than replacing it with <nowiki><div style="background: #bce1ff; color: #202122; padding: 2px; text-align: center; style; font-size: normal;">...</nowiki>? --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 16:10, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
**Also, I notice that the underlying articles linked from [[Template:WDSC2007]] are displaying the updated infobox (see [[2007 World Deaf Swimming Championships Day 5: A fantastic ending]], for example), but those from [[Template:Tour de France 2007]] and [[Template:War in Georgia (2008)]] are not (see [[Tour de France: Alberto Contador wins the grand tour]], for example). I'm not sure what the difference is. (The updated infoboxes use the correct dates for the underlying articles, rather than dating everything 17 February 2025.) --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 16:42, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
**: The 17 February 2025 date was the result of work we did with the license upgrade and is therefore going to be incorrect according to the publish date, unfortunately. As I've removed DPLs, I have not been adding a date. Just a bulleted list that I copied and pasted.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 12:25, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
**::I knew about the 17 February 2025 problem from before. My point was that if I edit the dates in the infobox to be the correct date instead of 17 February 2025, I expect that if the infobox is displayed on other articles, it should be the corrected infobox rather than the uncorrected version. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 12:54, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
**::: Ahh, sorry. I read it wrong.
::::: I just tested and do see that some of the changes aren't propagating as expected. I tested with [[Tour de France: Alberto Contador wins the grand tour]] and tried to purge that page using <code>?action=purge</code> on the end of the URL and that didn't pull in the changes. However, when I used <code><nowiki>{{subst:Tour de France 2007}}</nowiki></code> at that article, it did indeed pull in the changes. So I imagine (hope?) that we can carry on and eventually the changes will propagate. I have seen in the past, notably when I created categories such as [[:Category:Peer reviewed/Passed (exception)/Michael.C.Wright]], that it took days for the categories to be populated as expected.
::::: Unless of course someone else knows what's going on under the hood and knows a better approach.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:12, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
::::: See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423512. It is possible that our [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#Limit the FlaggedRevs extension to the article namespace?|disabling FlaggedRevs in the template namespace]] affected how pages transclude templates that were previously controlled by FlaggedRevs (which was what reviewers use to "sight" stable versions).
::::: The work-around for the Main page was to recreate the templates, which is not feasible here given the number of templates we're updating.

== Imminent migration tasks ==
Hello,
I stopped reviewing for next few weeks to allocate resources for migration. I am requesting you to please let me know what I can do to help. Link to the migration discussion "[[meta:Migration of Wikinews and future hosts]]", and I would like to invite you to participate. For now there is one possible venue with joined Miraheze and Wikimedia NYC hosting but their communication appears to be happening off-wiki as far as I know and I do not know their possible result nor the timing of that discussion. I am grateful for anything that you may do to help.
If the migration is completed I am willing to commit to reviewing more timely and to build an infrastructure and workflow that results in reasonably accurate and fresh stories being published and to help the group grow.
I refused to help with article archival, because I do not wish to be involved in quality checks at this stage. '''If there are specific non-controversial tasks related to migration that you would like my help with, please let me know.'''
Many thanks.

{{guideline|[[:WN:BREAK]]}}
''For a list of current breaking news stories, see also [[:Category:Breaking News]]''.
The "breaking" label is generally best reserved for urgent, unexpected events that are actively unfolding and where timely reporting is especially important.
In the event of a major breaking news event, we need to organize ourselves to give the best possible coverage.
{{policy nav1}}
Here are guidelines you can follow - if you're the first person to react, follow the [[Wikinews:Breaking news#First moments|First moments]] advice, and if the story is already on the site, read the [[Wikinews:Breaking news#As the story unfolds|As the story unfolds]] advice section. Finally, the [[Wikinews:Breaking news#If you are at the scene|If you are at the scene]] section gives suggestions in case you ever find yourself at the scene of a major story.
==First moments==
===Create an article===
It is very important to create an article about the event as soon as possible to prevent multiple articles being created. Go to the [[Wikinews:Newsroom|Newsroom]] and start your article. Submit it for {{tl|breaking review}} as soon as you can by changing {{tl|develop}} to {{tl|breaking review}}.
When published, the article will have {{tl|breaking}} at its top to advise readers information can change quickly as more details emerge; it should be removed as the story settles down.
===List sources===
List your sources as soon as you find them. If you're hearing it on a live broadcast, use the {{tl|broadcast report}} tag in the Sources section, then explain on the Talk page what you're listening to or watching, and what's being said.
==As the story unfolds==
===Connect to IRC===
During breaking news situations, you may want to join our [[WN:IRC|IRC]] (Internet Relay Chat) channel to help coordinate things. IRC is never required, and is merely used to communicate in real time, share sources, and discuss events. We have the [irc://irc.libera.chat/#wikinews #wikinews] channel on the server irc.libera.chat.
===Find sources===
In the first moments of a major event we need [[Wikinews:Cite sources|sources]] as soon as possible. Try searching on [http://news.google.com/ Google News] (has a 15 minute delay) and [http://news.yahoo.com/ Yahoo News] (can be quicker for "news wire" articles), and listening to live radio streams. Post your sources in the IRC channel so people can read them, and add them to the article.
===Minimizing edit conflicts===
As the number of editors working on an article increase, edit conflicts become more frequent. There are several steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of an edit conflict.
# '''Divide the article into sections.''' You can divide the article into sections by adding <nowiki>==Section title==</nowiki> above a section of text. If you use the visual editor, format the line as ''heading''. To avoid an edit conflict, edit one section at a time. An example of this can be found at [[Coordinated terrorist attack hits London]].
# '''Write your additions somewhere else first, then add them to the article.''' In many cases, it is easier to make your additions to an article at another location before adding it to the frequently-edited article. The easiest way to do this is to open a blank text document on your computer using a text editor program. You can then copy that text into the article.
===For new developments, start new articles===
The main article can cover the primary event. However, for new developments - responses from political leaders, updates on casualty tolls, arrests etc - ''start new articles''. Remember we're a news service, not an encyclopedia, and we want to highlight new developments to our readers as soon as they're verified.
If the original article would not get reviewed in due time, you may use the new developments to [[Wikinews:Gatwicking|refocus it]], thus saving much of the original content. By that time the original focal point has most likely lost its breaking status.
===Renaming articles===
Avoid renaming published articles if at all possible since this may affect outside pages and newsfeeds who may be linking to Wikinews. Choose a headline specific to the incident without being too detail-specific because of its breaking nature.
==If you are at the scene==
{{InfoboxStart|infotitle=Current Breaking<br/>News Stories}}
{{InfoboxEnd}}
If you are online near the scene, add a comment to the story's Talk page saying where you are and adding notes for any original reporting. You may find it easier to add quick reports on the Talk page which other editors can then add to the story, especially as information which may turn out to be rumours on the ground can be checked out by others with access to wider information.
If possible, take photographs using a digital camera (even a camera phone is better than nothing at all), and upload them to [[Commons:Special:Upload |Wikimedia Commons]].

==Welcome==
{{PAGENAME}}, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to [[Special:Userlogin|create an account]].
'''Our key policies''' - if you read anything, read these!
*[[Wikinews:Neutral point of view]] - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
*[[Wikinews:Cite sources]] - everything in a Wikinews article ''must'' be sourced
Here a few pointers to help you '''get to know Wikinews''':
*[[Wikinews:Introduction]] - overview of the site
*[[Wikinews:Writing an article]] - how to write and publish a complete article
*[[Wikinews:Content guide]] - what's suitable for Wikinews
*[[Wikinews:Contents]] - the contents page.
*[[Wikinews:Newsroom]] - The comunity portal
There are always '''things to do''' on Wikinews:
*[[Template:Latest news|Existing articles]] need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
*The front page lead articles often need [[Wikinews:Workspace#Update leads|updating]]
*[[Wikinews:Workspace#Work on current stories|Developing stories]] need finishing and publishing
*[[Wikinews:Water cooler|Discussions]] need your input
*And of course, stories need [[Wikinews:Writing an article|writing]]!
By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the [[Wikinews:Water cooler|water cooler]] or to anyone on the [[Wikinews:Welcommittee|Welcommittee]], or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

From [[w:The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] -- "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the '''LDS Church''' or the '''Mormon Church'''..." I went with "Mormon Church" because this is a "widely known" name as well, and to use the entire "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" is very very long in the headline of an article. I hope you do not mind if I move it back. [[User:Cirt|Cirt]] ([[User talk:Cirt|talk]]) 04:58, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks for your response. I respect your opinion, though I also respectfully disagree, as a perusal of similar types of news stories about this organization seems to hold that [http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&tab=wn&ned=us&q=%22Mormon+Church%22&btnG=Search+News "Mormon Church"], is used more frequently than [http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&tab=wn&ned=us&q=%22The+Church+of+Jesus+Christ+of+Latter-day+Saints%22&btnG=Search "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints"].

== Moving images to Commons ==
Hi. Just wanted to explain a bit why I rv'd your seemingly perfectly reasonable edit on the image. I don't particularly dispute the point about it being ineligible for copyright. The thing is, though, there's a long and tragic history of Commons dissing Wikinews by deleting stuff (with neither warning nor notification) we are using and cannot replace, but which we could almost always upload locally under fair use if we knew it was about to happen. There's probably... usually... no malice at all involved, either, but one can't help thinking if Commons cared to it could easily set up an infrastructure to check whether a pending deletion would cause problems for a sister project that allows local uploads, and either notify them or even automatically do a local upload with some sort of copyright-justification-needed-within-x-amount-of-time tag. The worst incident I've seen was a Wikinews article we published with an image that had been sitting happily on Commons for something like six or seven years, and then a little more than a day after we published our article, while it was the number one lead on our main page so that this image was the single most prominent image displayed on our entire site, Commons deleted it. The icing on the cake was, this was just '''after''' the article was more than 24 hours post-publication, so that our archive policy had kicked in (the reason we can't replace most images that get deleted out from under us). So, once we've uploaded something locally, we're not likely to voluntarily delete it in favor of moving to Commons, making ourselves more vulnerable to the mishap of Commons deletion. --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 14:05, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
:'''Okay''' But if it gets deleted there, you can undelete it here. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 08:47, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
::Hm. An interesting thought, except that we don't ''know'' when an image we use here is deleted there. --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 13:42, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
:::'''Files''' You could have a tracking category like [[:w:Category:Articles_with_missing_files|Articles_with_missing_files]]. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 20:03, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
::::There are about... I think it's around 450 articles in our archives with missing images. Two and a fraction percent of our entire archive. Only earlier this year I created a template {{tl|missing image}} to try to at least neatify the articles involved. Small as Wikinews is, we need less stuff to keep track of, rather than more.
::::In the specific instance, though, I concede that ''if'' the image were ever deleted from Commons, sooner or later we would presumably notice and would then find it especially easy to fix. --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 20:32, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Was that edit at the user's request? It's hard to follow what's going on here, locally. The impression I get hunting around is that Sarah's position at the WMF is over, is that correct?

== Reviewer?? ==
I saw that you'd requested Reviewer status some time ago....doesn't look like much has happened re: that request. It seems you've done some cat'ing around here (thanks for that!!). Outside of that, have you done much else in term of proofreading etc.? I think (if I'm interpreting things properly) you are into ''Wikidata'' a bit (a project FAR BEYOND the scope of my expertise). --[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 22:56, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Bddpaux}} You can see all of my WMF edits here, of course: [[Special:CentralAuth/Koavf]]. As you can see, I've been most active in sheer number of edits on en.wp, commons, data, en.ws, en.voy, and en.wikt. I've tried to do more on non-Wikipedia projects over the past two years and although I may not be as familiar with the norms at en.wn, I don't think reviewer is too much to ask considering my history here and elsewhere on WMF projects. If you do, that's fair.

But considering what I'd said in the comments section over on your request, the 'general' flow here goes: Newbie, Reporter, Accredited Reporter, Reviewer (aka 'Editor'), Administrator (and a few beyond that -- but those cross into inter-wiki roles). Now, what I just said is not canonical by any means! But reviewers spend a lot of time here reading, re-reading, proof'ing and taking action on article submissions (again, functioning as a news editor). It's not a glory-filled job...I can assure you!! I have no questions about your roles/contributions across the span of WMF, but 'Reviewer' means something REAL SPECIFIC here in these parts. So, if you REALLY WANT to, you're welcome to lurk here for a while, doing some plain-old copy edits and what-not (user Pi Zero has even taken action to make a lot of those mundane things a bit easier of-late). From there, we'll see where things can go. If others think your congealed meta-role qualifies you to be a reviewer here, then I'm willing to listen, but as user Blood Red Sandman pointed out, taking that route worked out badly in the past. We've seen (in the past) that users who come here, puffed up, looking for some badge-of-honor before proving themselves tend to create more problems than they fix and then run away mad. (I'm not accusing you of being one of those people, heck, ''I don't know you''); but God's-honest humility is the order-of-the-day around here if things are to succeed. --[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 17:02, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
:::Not sure I'd go quite as far as to say it's normal to get Accredited Reporter before Reviewer, but it's certainly known. Accredited Reporter is based entirely on trust, so a user with little track record on ''Wikinews'' can get it if they're trusted by the community (although it's most common for users to do some writing first, then apply). For reviewer, it's not as high-trust. Trust is an element, of course, but reviewer is about competence with ''Wikinews'' policies and processes. I'm not aware of any other priv on any wiki where competence is required to be demonstrated in quite the way it is for reviewer. Write a couple of articles a week for, say, a month and the community will likely be tripping over itself to hand you reviewer.

== Welcome to adminship at English Wikinews ==
Hi Koavf
Welcome to being a sysop at the site.
* Please subscribe to [[WN:AAA]], this is where majority of requests are added, including requests from non-sysops for sysop action, and requests from sysops to get help from other sysops on any admin action.
* Recommended to check recent changes at least once a day, if not more frequently.
* Recommended to 'subscribe' to all Water coolers (there is 5 or 6 of them).
* If you're on IRC, I can provide you access to the admins/sysops channel; message user 'gry' on IRC for this request.
* This is a point to any user at Wikinews. Burnout has been a frequent issue. If you're getting overwhelmed, take a break for a few weeks, with a note on user page when you are planning to come back. I personally encourage myself to do this at least twice a year, although this may be different for other users.
Thank you for volunteering.
Please let me know if you have got any questions.
Many thanks.

== NEWS STREAK idea proposal ==
Hi Koavf
[[Wikinews:2026 streak competition|NEWS STREAK idea proposal]]
would you like to sign up? It hasn't started yet, but I am collecting interest, and you can '''add your nick to the page'''.
If you're not doing content edits frequently you could choose another streak period for your news content participation - for example, once each two months rather than once each two weeks...
----
It is being proposed to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example,
* "write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published"
This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.
The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think? Parameters are subject to discussion e.g.
* 'once every two weeks' or 'once a week' or 'once a month'
* should this be same for all or each person decides for themselves
* how long total comp running for, 12 weeks or 24 weeks or some other time
* some other ideas how to modify this
i would appreciate if you could reply '''by end of this week''', it would be helpful
please note if you are interested you may signup in [[Wikinews:2026 streak competition]] at page bottom and you will be notified at your talk page if there are any updates or progress of this idea
thanks a lot
----
Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 01:25, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
:thank you for signing up, Koavf. i added one more column, the '''frequency''' -- for example, 'two weeks'. this is the streak frequency parameter you would prefer. for example, 'two weeks' means you would suggest that you work towards publishing one story per each two weeks. if you miss third and fourth week and work towards publishing on week five, then the streak is lost. so longer time period (every 4 weeks can be easier than every 2 weeks) can be easier. please add yours, when you have a moment. :-) regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 02:48, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi Koavf
I am writing to you because I am not reviewing articles for next few weeks due to imminent migration.
* I had decided not to review articles after mid-April due to possible required time and effort for migration. Link to the migration discussion "[[meta:Migration of Wikinews and future hosts]]", and I would like to invite you to participate. For now there is one possible venue with joined Miraheze and Wikimedia NYC hosting but their communication appears to be happening off-wiki as far as I know and I do not know their possible result nor the timing of that discussion. I am grateful for anything that you may do to help.
*If the migration is completed I am willing to commit to reviewing more timely and to build an infrastructure and workflow that results in reasonably accurate and fresh stories being published and to help the group grow.
* I appreciate you being here, your help with software and discussions has made my editing here more meaningful for me and it would not be the same without you.
If there are specific tasks related to migration that you would like my help with, please let me know.

== Moving images to Commons ==
Hi. Just wanted to explain a bit why I rv'd your seemingly perfectly reasonable edit on the image. I don't particularly dispute the point about it being ineligible for copyright. The thing is, though, there's a long and tragic history of Commons dissing Wikinews by deleting stuff (with neither warning nor notification) we are using and cannot replace, but which we could almost always upload locally under fair use if we knew it was about to happen. There's probably... usually... no malice at all involved, either, but one can't help thinking if Commons cared to it could easily set up an infrastructure to check whether a pending deletion would cause problems for a sister project that allows local uploads, and either notify them or even automatically do a local upload with some sort of copyright-justification-needed-within-x-amount-of-time tag. The worst incident I've seen was a Wikinews article we published with an image that had been sitting happily on Commons for something like six or seven years, and then a little more than a day after we published our article, while it was the number one lead on our main page so that this image was the single most prominent image displayed on our entire site, Commons deleted it. The icing on the cake was, this was just '''after''' the article was more than 24 hours post-publication, so that our archive policy had kicked in (the reason we can't replace most images that get deleted out from under us). So, once we've uploaded something locally, we're not likely to voluntarily delete it in favor of moving to Commons, making ourselves more vulnerable to the mishap of Commons deletion. --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 14:05, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

I saw that you'd requested Reviewer status some time ago....doesn't look like much has happened re: that request. It seems you've done some cat'ing around here (thanks for that!!). Outside of that, have you done much else in term of proofreading etc.?

:{{Ping|Bddpaux}} You can see all of my WMF edits here, of course: [[Special:CentralAuth/Koavf]]. As you can see, I've been most active in sheer number of edits on en.wp, commons, data, en.ws, en.voy, and en.wikt. I've tried to do more on non-Wikipedia projects over the past two years and although I may not be as familiar with the norms at en.wn, I don't think reviewer is too much to ask considering my history here and elsewhere on WMF projects. If you do, that's fair. Alternately, if you have in mind some threshold I should cross, let me know. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 02:01, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
::That's cool and I'm with you there. But considering what I'd said in the comments section over on your request, the 'general' flow here goes: Newbie, Reporter, Accredited Reporter, Reviewer (aka 'Editor'), Administrator (and a few beyond that -- but those cross into inter-wiki roles). Now, what I just said is not canonical by any means! But reviewers spend a lot of time here reading, re-reading, proof'ing and taking action on article submissions (again, functioning as a news editor). It's not a glory-filled job...I can assure you!! I have no questions about your roles/contributions across the span of WMF, but 'Reviewer' means something REAL SPECIFIC here in these parts. So, if you REALLY WANT to, you're welcome to lurk here for a while, doing some plain-old copy edits and what-not (user Pi Zero has even taken action to make a lot of those mundane things a bit easier of-late). From there, we'll see where things can go. If others think your congealed meta-role qualifies you to be a reviewer here, then I'm willing to listen, but as user Blood Red Sandman pointed out, taking that route worked out badly in the past. We've seen (in the past) that users who come here, puffed up, looking for some badge-of-honor before proving themselves tend to create more problems than they fix and then run away mad. (I'm not accusing you of being one of those people, heck, ''I don't know you''); but God's-honest humility is the order-of-the-day around here if things are to succeed. --[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 17:02, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
:::Not sure I'd go quite as far as to say it's normal to get Accredited Reporter before Reviewer, but it's certainly known. Accredited Reporter is based entirely on trust, so a user with little track record on ''Wikinews'' can get it if they're trusted by the community (although it's most common for users to do some writing first, then apply). For reviewer, it's not as high-trust. Trust is an element, of course, but reviewer is about competence with ''Wikinews'' policies and processes. I'm not aware of any other priv on any wiki where competence is required to be demonstrated in quite the way it is for reviewer. Write a couple of articles a week for, say, a month and the community will likely be tripping over itself to hand you reviewer.

Hi Koavf
Welcome to being a sysop at the site.
* Please subscribe to [[WN:AAA]], this is where majority of requests are added, including requests from non-sysops for sysop action, and requests from sysops to get help from other sysops on any admin action.
* Recommended to check recent changes at least once a day, if not more frequently.
* Recommended to 'subscribe' to all Water coolers (there is 5 or 6 of them).
* If you're on IRC, I can provide you access to the admins/sysops channel; message user 'gry' on IRC for this request.
* This is a point to any user at Wikinews. Burnout has been a frequent issue. If you're getting overwhelmed, take a break for a few weeks, with a note on user page when you are planning to come back. I personally encourage myself to do this at least twice a year, although this may be different for other users.
Thank you for volunteering.
Please let me know if you have got any questions.

== NEWS STREAK idea proposal ==
Hi Koavf
[[Wikinews:2026 streak competition|NEWS STREAK idea proposal]]
would you like to sign up? It hasn't started yet, but I am collecting interest, and you can '''add your nick to the page'''.
If you're not doing content edits frequently you could choose another streak period for your news content participation - for example, once each two months rather than once each two weeks...
----
It is being proposed to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example,
* "write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published"
This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.
The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think? Parameters are subject to discussion e.g.
* 'once every two weeks' or 'once a week' or 'once a month'
* should this be same for all or each person decides for themselves
* how long total comp running for, 12 weeks or 24 weeks or some other time
* some other ideas how to modify this
i would appreciate if you could reply '''by end of this week''', it would be helpful
please note if you are interested you may signup in [[Wikinews:2026 streak competition]] at page bottom and you will be notified at your talk page if there are any updates or progress of this idea
thanks a lot

:thank you for signing up, Koavf. i added one more column, the '''frequency''' -- for example, 'two weeks'. this is the streak frequency parameter you would prefer. for example, 'two weeks' means you would suggest that you work towards publishing one story per each two weeks. if you miss third and fourth week and work towards publishing on week five, then the streak is lost. so longer time period (every 4 weeks can be easier than every 2 weeks) can be easier. please add yours, when you have a moment. :-) regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 02:48, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

== Thank you ==
Hi Koavf
I am writing to you because I am not reviewing articles for next few weeks due to imminent migration.
* I had decided not to review articles after mid-April due to possible required time and effort for migration. Link to the migration discussion "[[meta:Migration of Wikinews and future hosts]]", and I would like to invite you to participate. For now there is one possible venue with joined Miraheze and Wikimedia NYC hosting but their communication appears to be happening off-wiki as far as I know and I do not know their possible result nor the timing of that discussion. I am grateful for anything that you may do to help.
*If the migration is completed I am willing to commit to reviewing more timely and to build an infrastructure and workflow that results in reasonably accurate and fresh stories being published and to help the group grow.
* I appreciate you being here, your help with software and discussions has made my editing here more meaningful for me and it would not be the same without you.
If there are specific tasks related to migration that you would like my help with, please let me know.

== Limit the FlaggedRevs extension to the article namespace? ==
Regarding the FlaggedRevs extension in this project, I would like to propose both of the following:
# We limit the namespace to only 0 (article namespace), since other namespaces are not considered to be reader material.
# Set <code>$wgFlaggedRevsHandleIncludes</code> to <code>0</code> (<code>$wgFlaggedRevsHandleIncludes = 0</code>), which should no longer allow FlaggedRevs to detect the stable version of templates in articles, if available.
I have done [[:b:en:Wikibooks:Reading room/Proposals#Limit some namespaces on this project's FlaggedRevs extension?|a similar proposal]] months ago on English Wikibooks. Thoughts? [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 06:07, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
: I like the idea. I'd like to see what other, more technical folks have to say before officially supporting it. We may also benefit from waiting until en.WB completes their change to see what issues they run into in the process.
: We would need to organize a small project team to go through all templates and deal with unsighted changes before the config change, to ensure unsighted changes aren't either lost or auto-sighted, depending on how the process handles unsighted changes.
: We also are waiting for the WMF Board to announce their decision on the recommendation to close all Wikinews. There would be no sense in doing the work if they are closing the project.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 14:23, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
::If there is a plan to migrate the wiki to new hosting, then any last minute changes would also be migrated. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 19:22, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
:: Wikibooks has already done this. [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 20:05, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
:::Yeah and what was their motivation? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 20:24, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
::::On English Wikibooks, we wanted to limit FlaggedRevs to article content namespaces, and it worked, but not before we also had to implement <code>$wgFlaggedRevsHandleIncludes = 0</code> too.

::::::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] In short, because otherwise banners like [[phab:F69801009]] would have been irremovably present on pages transcluding a template that (a) had once been reviewed, & (b) hadn't yet had its most recent version reviewed. This is probably a bug in FlaggedRevs itself ([[phab:T411328]]), but given the extension's [[phab:T185664|current maintenance situation]], I wouldn't personally expect it to necessarily be fixed anytime soon. (In case you're interested, I left a bit of a longer explanation on phab at [[phab:T408110#11370668]] & on en.wikibooks in [[b:en:special:gotocomment/c-A_smart_kitten-20251115215100-Codename_Noreste-20251115190500|this comment]].)

:Hi [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]], what is the motivation for these two proposed changes? What would they improve? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 19:21, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
::[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], I replied above. I saw the [[Wikinews:Reviewing articles|article review policy]] about the following: {{tq|Please note that only users who have the reviewer permission should review and publish articles.}} Because of that, I think it would make sense to only limit FlaggedRevs to just the article namespace only. [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 00:23, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
:::The current setup allows anyone to edit a template and it would only become visible on other pages after a reviewer approves the edit. So, the change that is being proposed, would make it harder for non-reviewer users to make minor changes to templates and other non-(Main) pages: instead of just clicking 'edit' they would need to go to talk page and request a change there. On the plus side however, it would relieve reviewers from ''that'' (non-Main) backlog. I am fine either way; I am neutral on this issue. If needed, I can help with the implementation of a change if it was desired. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 05:01, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
:::: {{tq|The current setup allows anyone to edit a template}}
:::: This is not true. Many are edit-protected to one degree or another. For example, no one but administrators can edit [[Template:Source]] and only an admin+reviewer can sight the change.
:::: {{tq|the change that is being proposed, would make it harder for non-reviewer users to make minor changes to templates'}}
:::: Disabling Flagged Revs would not make it harder to make changes to templates. It would make changes immediately visible everywhere the template is transcluded.
:::: {{tq|instead of just clicking 'edit' they would need to go to talk page and request a change there.'}}
:::: What you are describing here is edit protection, not flagged revs. When templates use flagged revs, changes made by ''anyone'' must be sighted or approved by a reviewer. If the template is protected such as template:source to admin-only level, we need someone who is both reviewer ''and'' admin to make and sight the change.
:::: {{tq|On the plus side however, it would relieve reviewers from ''that'' (non-Main) backlog.'}}
:::: Removing flagged revs would reduce the number of changes that need to be approved, but currently only by 14%. The remaining 195 changes still need to be processed.
:::: Removing flagged revs from templates will not only make it easier to maintain our templates, it will also reduce our risk if something should go wrong with the flagged revs.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:44, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
:::::1. OK, make it harder to edit ''some'' templates. (Not all are edit protected.)
:::::2. It would make it harder for editing ''some'' templates - those that are not edit protected.
:::::3. Not really interested in that scenario; interested in those that are not edit protected. Those that are edit protected, it is correct that they require an admin and a reviewer with current setup, and only a admin with proposed setup. But that was not the point that I was raising.
:::::3a. Setting <pre>$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['review'] = true; //allow administrators to review revisions</pre> could be an option, if needed. A request would need to be made that sysops only work outside of main namespace, and possibly only with cosmetic edits to main namespace. That too would reduce reviewers backlog as they would not need to sight changes where a vandal did something and it was undone back identical to previous revision, or minor formatting and punctuation edits.
:::::4. Ok, fine. By 14% is still helpful.
:::::2, 4. It is not called "removing / disabling flaggedrevs", it is called "disabling flaggedrevs on namespaces that are not main". Removing it implies removing the extension from the wiki altogether, and is not a part of this proposal. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 18:38, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
:::::: {{tq|make it harder to edit ''some'' templates}}
:::::: Disabling flagged revs in template space won't make it harder to edit ''any'' templates. It will allow for changes to be immediately transcluded, without requiring changes to be sighted (approved).
:::::: Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to say here. But since you are neutral on the change, maybe it also doesn't matter that I can't make sense of it.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 19:09, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
:::::::as I said earlier, if those templates that are under flaggedrevs control now will become protected, they will become harder for non-(privleged) users to edit. I am assuming that they will be protected. there was no consensus here on making them free for anyone to edit. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 00:07, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
:* {{support}}: I do think it would be a better idea to limit it to the main namespace only. As I understand it, the primary focus of the Reviewers user group is to review and evaluate articles and publish them, along with related changes. This would certainly reduce the additional, less important pending changes burden in other namespaces. But, before implementing this as Michael.C.Wright suggests, all current non mainspace changes should be sighted first. Besides that, I do not currently have any other points against this in mind.

=== Protecting templates ===
: I am working through the pending changes to templates now. I think it would be wise to protect all templates to 'auto-confirm' accounts as a minimum, not changing any existing protection levels. A lot of the pending changes so far include reverted vandalism (this is good, it is being found and reverted quickly). Many of the vandals are IP/temp accounts, which presumably haven't yet been auto-confirmed.
: That could be a lot of tedious work to do up front, but may pay off in the long run.

::::Hi
::::Ah yes. Those were not edit protected, and anyone could edit them. For when nobody looking, that backlog is pretty tame...
::::#I personally would think that edit protect them makes sense only if the proposed change was to go ahead -
::::# but then, I would suggest to make them "reviewer or admin only" as is more similar to like the current setup, where the intent is for the edit to be checked by a privileged user. Relying on recent change patrolling may not work well on a small wiki that is news focused.
::::# In any case of protection I would suggest to work on making it easier to request an edit. Clicking "talk" and leaving a message is pretty hard For a newbie.
::::# Could the software show a banner at top of all edit protected pages with a big fat "request edit" button that takes to new section at talk with relevant "edit protected request" or whatever template already filled in with a space to describe proposed edit and reason. This banner should only show for users who do not have the privilege to edit the page.
::::# If needed i can write a js that protects page, places a banner at page top, and sights the edit.

::::: > ''I would suggest to make them "reviewer or admin only" as is more similar to like the current setup, where the intent is for the edit to be checked by a privileged user.''
::::: We can't set "reviewer" as a level of protection. It's not available in the protection menu (I'm not sure if we can somehow enable it).
::::: Also, protecting to admin-only would put too much burden on a group that is already underserved and over-taxed. It is further frustrated by the fact that one of our two interface admins ([[User:Asked42|Asked42]]) is neither a reviewer nor an admin and therefore they would not be able make ''any'' changes to templates if we protected them all to reviewer (if we are able) or admin.
::::: A good portion of the changes I sighted were indeed made by Asked42.
::::: I think auto-confirmed as the minimum baseline, with some fully protected (as they already are) is a good compromise/happy medium.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 19:23, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
::::::yes we can add a [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgRestrictionLevels $wgRestrictionLevels], i guess 'sysop or reviewer or interface admin' could work [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 21:06, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
:::::::This would require initiating a separate proposal to add <code>editautoreviewprotected</code> as a protection level and user right (autoreviewed users, reviewers, and administrators). Protection for interface administrators is currently not possible, as regular administrators cannot edit site CSS/JS pages, or CSS and JS pages in any user's userspace (except for their own). [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 21:10, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
:::::::: Based on this, I think we should protect all templates to a minimum 'auto-confirmed' level, then increase it on an as-needed basis, with the understanding that over-protection impedes regular maintenance. <br>Protecting all templates to reviewer + admin is in my opinion overkill and prevents our single, active, interface admin from being able to make any changes to any templates. <br>Very few of our templates are used on published articles, which is arguably our most sensitive namespace as far as vandalism is concerned. <br>This also requires no changes be made to the overall config. <br>So to be clear, I would support the following (<del>assuming</del> <ins>I assume</ins> we also do it in the following order):
::::::::
::::::::* Protecting all templates to a minimum of auto-confirmed users
::::::::* Remove/disable flagged revs in the Template namespace

:::::::::that risks all sysops (who may be awol at times) missing an edit an autoconfirmed user made, whereas protecting would prevent this. i think on a small wiki it is better to reduce risk of an edit being made inadvertedly and then being missed. this is not wikipedia where good faith is assumed and infinite resources are available for post-edit page patrol. that would be a low activity backlog anyway seeing that you handled all pending revisions within less than a day - and they were accumulated over course of a few years i believed.

::::::::: I {{oppose}} applying reviewer and/or admin-only protection to all templates.

==== Options how to protect ====
For templates which are current in control by flagged revs, a reviewer has to sight an edit for it to be approved and become included in other pages. With the flagged revs being disabled for them. There is a need to make a decision what to do to prevent vandalism and other unwanted edits.
* Option 1: do nothing; the templates become available for anyone to edit. Another user can undo that. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong; any user can monitor and undo.
* Option 2: protect on 'auto-confirmed' level. Accounts with the 'autoconfirmed' privilege can edit. Another 'autoconfirmed' user can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong; an 'autoconfirmed' user or users need to check recent changes and monitor. This inconveniences users who are not 'autoconfirmed' because they havve to open a new section at talk page to request an edit. Work load on 'auto-confirmed' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes.
* Option 3: protect on 'some new privilege name here' level. The privilege is given out to any user who was doing something constructive and is provided by request without needing to do a full vote. A vote may be held to remove it if needed or an admin can remove that privilege if it was misused. Another 'some new privilege name here' user can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong; an 'some new privilege name here' user or users need to check recent changes and monitor. This inconveniences users who are not a'some new privilege name here' because now they have to manually request new edits at the talk page. Work load on 'some new privilege name here' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes.
* Option 4: protect on 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' level. Accounts with 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' privilege can edit, and another user with that privilege can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong, however, the pool of users was hand selected and voted on and the risk was reduced. This inconveniences users who are not a 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' because now they have to manually request new edits at the talk page. Work load on 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes.
* Option 5: protect on 'sysop' level. Accounts with sysop (Administrator) privilege can edit, and another user with that privilege can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong, however, the pool of users was hand selected and voted on and the risk was reduced. This inconveniences users who are not a Administrator because now they have to manually request new edits at the talk page. Work load on 'Administrator' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes.

Comments and discussion
* I have stronger support for 5 than 4 than 3 than 2. The amount of such changes made in template namespace was tiny and I propose to reduce load on 'contributors, users, reviewers, and interface admins', as they best work on news. Solving vandalism or 'hey lets change this because thats how i did it somewhere else and i thought that is good here' or 'i am confused' issues is a sysop job (ignoring that sysops have huge backlog because I am here and I don't even know that these tasks exist, but still. sysop handle mitigations of abuse and approvals of legit edits, in my view. I do not want to bring up question of sysop backlog size or lack of prior involvement in such issues before as it is not directly relevant to my argument).

::::1. I ask to approach both reviewer and author in these cases as they both need to change their approach to ensure issues don't happen again and again. I asked you and you said 'Yeah, except reviewers were elected.' Yeah, sure, but my point still stands. I'm speaking of both.
::::2. Doesn't answer my question how to handle users who repeatedly insert same kind of issues into articles. That is not even always visible as the review feedback of failed articles gets deleted along with their talk page. I try to at least post a copy of it onto talk page via 'custom message' feature of ezpr2. Make that an official policy, would you? I'm sure you would be interested in this as it would allow to keep track of issues in articles submitted by that user in one spot, and provide a path towards figuring out why they happen and how to solve them, and improve 'article quality'.
::::3. And the same could go to posting feedback to a reviewer's talk page about post-publish retractions etc. I believe I didn't even ''get'' a talk page message about that retraction request; yet I did get an insinuation here. The note that a particular reviewer is being dodgy sits in your mind and doesn't sit on their talk page. I think that's inefficient. The concern about your mentioning of de-flagging lies in unnecessary escalation; the general civil thing to do has been to leave a message at a talk page before taking further action.

*<s>{{Support}}</s>I don't think we are on the right side of history. But current experience shows that editers and reviewers can not determine if theres any content in an AI generated article. And we "cannot edit after it published", so no remedies can be made. I also believe we should issue an announcement after disabling AI, which would show that we are a responsible media outlet.
Of course, I maintain the stance discussed earlier that, ideally, editors should consciously strive to discern, and reviewers should ensure everything meets the standards, such as accuracy. If the review process can achieve this, it doesn't matter whether the article is written by a human, Shakespeare's monkey, or AI, nor is explicit labeling necessary, because we ultimately get a good article.
I'm not saying people can't achieve this, but it requires too much effort, which is clearly not cost-effective. And if we implement policies similar to this now instead of banning AI, it will lead to situations where submissions written with AI cannot be published due to insufficient and timely review, which is obviously not in our favor.

::{{Comment}} My understanding is that, for a fair amount of time:
::* There has been a lack of humans, writing articles, editing articles and reviewing them, making it difficult to publish even one article a week;
::* That for a fair amount of articles "written" with usage of AI, the quality problems were significant - not only in style of writing, but even in "facts" mentioned in the article;
::* That we currently have a tool to discourage blatant plagiarism from sources - which therefore encourages "lazy" (or tired, or whatever) contributors to use AI as text generator;
::* AI assisted content is not treated as uniquely suspect. Rather, where text is written by humans, humans are much less likely to generate hallucinations, and much more likely to follow guidelines for writing articles. AI assisted content doesn't know Wikinews guidelines, and even if it were provided with them, it would still be likely to hallucinate;
::The proposals in this thread have included:
::* Temporarily banning AI usage for writing of text in Wikinews articles - which I tend to agree with, though I would prefer a constructive discussion on positive and negative examples of AI generated contributions to Wikinews;
::* Removing reviewer duties from people who have missed AI hallucinations in articles they have published - which I absolutely disagree with. We need more people in Wikinews, not less.
::I would like to add the following proposals:
::* Possibly, add a tool to detect AI hallucinations - numbers (10 or ten or dozens - format doesn't matter), places, people which are not mentioned in the sources;
::* Or even better, write a Wikinews-specific (AI-powered? I don't like AI, but if you do, go ahead, contribute to development and testing) tool to generate text based on the provided links to sources;
::* Remember that having duties of being a reviewer doesn't deprive you of rights of being an editor. If an article needs improvement and editors are not showing up, feel free to improve it yourself - with caveat that you will have to find another reviewer to publish it afterwards.
::Reviewers don't have to be perfect. Reviewers need to be there, active and helping. But they don't have to be perfect. They just have to do their best. And discouraging writers and reviewers, penalizing them for their mistakes, can kill the project. This isn't school where kids have to go, whether they want to or not.

*'''Support''' a ban on unsupervised use of genAI for article creation or expansion, {{Oppose}} a blanket ban. Part of why I oppose the "nuclear option" is because it's nearly impossible to definitively know whether a certain sentence was purely AI-generated or merely the signature of a more formal human writing. As long as it's used responsibly, genAI can be a very handy tool for writing [[WN:Breaking news|breaking news articles]], seeking feedback on the quality of an almost complete article, correcting the grammar, translating content, and other purposes. For example, when I wrote "[[Bangladeshi interim leader Muhammad Yunus returns home after four-day visit to London]]" and "[https://web.archive.org/web/20250707221334/https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Australia%27s_truth_commission_finds_genocide_against_Aboriginal_Victorians,_suggests_practical_remedies Australia's truth commission finds genocide against Aboriginal Victorians, suggests practical remedies]" (which was [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=delete&user=&page=Australia%27s+truth+commission+finds+genocide+against+Aboriginal+Victorians%2C+suggests+practical+remedies&excludetempacct=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist deleted] due to staleness), I asked ChatGPT very simple prompts such as "Please assess that article" and "Is my article good?", and it gave me some rather useful advice (in retrospect, I admit that I should perhaps have disclosed it on the talk pages). Of course, it's a double-edged sword, and I discarded the recommendations which seemed very nitpicky or would run against P&Gs such as [[WN:NPOV|NPOV]]. I think a responsible (if imperfect) approach would be to give a hard "Not Ready" verdict on articles that look entirely AI-generated from the beginning to the end, grant a bit of leeway for those where only a specific section or paragraph is AI-generated, add one or more sections at [[Help:AI]] for guidance on rewriting these sorts of articles, and direct contributors to both that help page and [[WN:The use of AI in generating content]].

If the use of AI in some capacity is considered acceptable by the original poster, then the concern being addressed here may be narrower than originally framed. If that is the case, should the proposal be revised or withdrawn so the discussion reflects that distinction more clearly?

=== Consensus assessment and possible next steps ===
My read of the consensus to this point is:
* Support: 3
* Oppose: 2
* Support Retracted: 1
* No stated position: 3
Support remains conditional and temporary in framing, not a blanket permanent ban.
With only one-vote separation and multiple participants explicitly calling for further discussion, this still does not meet a strong consensus threshold.
The thread shows more agreement on process deficiencies (review standards, workload) than on prohibition itself.
Based on that, and keeping in mind that consensus is not determined by simple vote totals but by working toward a solution that reasonably addresses the main concerns raised on all sides, I suggest the following be considered for further community discussion:
* Transition [[WN:AI]] from a draft guideline into a proposed policy, so its requirements and enforcement expectations are clearer.
* We carefully monitor AI usage to ensure it is 1. transparent, 2. accurate, 3. NPOV. See [[:Category:AI usage declared]] as just one tool towards this end.
* For a limited trial period (for example, three months), apply a standardized disclosure notice on newly published articles that involve AI assistance. (<del>someone else</del> <ins>[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]]</ins> proposed this elsewhere[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals/archives/2025/November#Thinking_-_asking_-_wondering]). See [[:Template:AI disclosure]] as a proposed draft.
* Reassess outcomes after the trial period to determine whether current practices are improving article quality and review reliability.

== Should we reconsider our stance on wikilinking ==
Our [[Wikinews:Style_guide#Wikilinking_an_article|Style guide states]] "Do not over-wikify articles. Link only particularly relevant background material."
I believe the reasoning can be found in [[Wikinews:Categories#Wikilinks_and_redirects|this essay]], which states "Don't use wikilinks for basic information: a news article should stand on its own, understandable without consulting some other page along the way."
As a community, I believe we have strayed from this practice considerably. A drift towards more wikilinking, in my opinion, is part of our broader drift from being a journalism project first to a wiki project first and a journalism project second.
While over-wikilinking has not been an impediment to publication (that I'm aware of), it is something we should either be actively addressing (reducing) or something we should remove from our policies and guidelines.
Please comment below how you feel about over-wikilinking and if you feel we should keep, remove, or update the recommendation. Justifying your response would be most helpful, but a simple !vote might suffice.

* {{keep}} especially for the lede. A link away from ''Wikinews'' is an invitation to stop reading our content and start reading someone else's.

*{{weak keep}} I am unsure if I have a passionate opinion here, but I will agree that the wikilinking has gotten a bit out of control. In the very least: most of our wikilinking should simply point to a new place at WN. This isn't Wikipedia. And: I '''2000% agree''' that we've lost our 'scope' of journalism first, wiki second. That is not even mentioning the 3,000 people involved with WMF that can only view us as a wiki ONLY. That has been a never ending war. Even some of us here: Admins etc. etc. -- we (including myself) sometimes get lost in the weeds on what is happening at this place: get the news, write the news, submit the news.--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 16:32, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
*:Just commenting what I see in this...
*:* Obvious words like "cat" or "dog" are not supposed to be wikilinked. Not to point of wikilinking every second word in a page.
*:* More complex names (for me it includes name of ''any'' US state, for instance, i never knew where they are and am not going to try to build a US map in my head, and many readers are overseas) that are not understood by foreigner or by someone new to that topic, could and should be wikilinked.
*:* Adding a brief note to a thing is good. At some point I added a note like ", a state in east coast of United States," for something, for that reason.
*:* Sport articles, for example, suffer a lot from lack of explanations. :S
*:* Also this approach gave advantage that items that ''are'' wikilinked do, eventually in an utopic world when news writing is an everyday thing, become wikilinks to local categories about that event series or place or topic in ''news'' context, with a feed for that. For example there is no category "Dog". Or [[court]]. Or something.
*:* If I removed a wikilink, I should probably feel compelled to either add a brief note or add a local news-feed (category) link.
*:* A reviewer can do such minor chanhe if needed.
*:* And I personally do not see any reason to change that policy in its current version.

When being asked "''Please comment below how you feel about over-wikilinking and if you feel we should keep, remove, or update the recommendation.''", it's not entirely clear what "the recommendation" is. Maybe I seem like I'm being obtuse but I'm having trouble interpreting all the !votes and figuring out where I stand on an issue presented as a simply yes/no question but that lacks the needed clarity.

== Suggestion for [[Wikinews:Writing an article]] ==
At [[Wikinews:Writing an article#Starting out]], it says:
:If the story has not been started, you can begin it by entering an appropriate title below and clicking "Create article".
:Here are ''Wikinews'' [[Wikinews:Style guide#Headlines|article title rules and guidelines]].
I suggest that we add something like this to the above: "The article title should '''identify the news event''' that the article is about. A person's name alone, or a company name alone, should not be an article title."
I am assuming that some people are indeed creating articles by starting from [[Wikinews:Writing an article]] but not reading the linked article title rules and guidelines (this assumption might be incorrect). That seems to be how we get such soon-to-be-deleted drafts as [[Rumi Von-Clarke]], [[Daud Muhammed]], and [[Zakariah gmb services]], all of which were tagged for speedy deletion on their second edits. -- [[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 14:13, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

== New tool for inline comments: DynamicMarking. ==
Hello, a new tool is now available that enables reviewers to attach inline comments to specific phrases in a draft article. This means phrases can be marked by a reviewer to highlight issues without actually editing the article.
Phrases that have been marked will appear highlighted in yellow. Non-reviewers can view them, but they will not be able to edit or remove the attached comments or markings. However, users can mark a specific highlight as "resolved".
This gadget allows users to quickly identify the exact text in an article that needs modification or changes. Reviewers using the EzPR2025 gadget for review will find the "Dynamic Marking" feature integrated into it. However, the tool can also be used independently of EzPR2025.
Full documentation is available at: [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)/DynamicMarking|WN:EzPR2025/Dynamic Marking]]. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 08:07, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

: For me, the deeper issue is a difference in what level of quality we are trying to achieve. Our Policies and Guidelines were written by a generation aiming for a much higher standard than what the current generation, broadly speaking, appears willing or able to sustain. The way we are collectively navigating that gap is creating friction (to put it politely) and, in practice, a status quo of low output.
: We need to resolve that tension. Either we reform our PaGs to reflect a more achievable standard, or we raise the quality of our work to meet them.
: Given the ongoing friction, I find myself looking for other ways to contribute here, if at all. I know at least one other reviewer has expressed a similar view.
: I believe this quality–output tension is a central factor behind the SPTF’s recommendation to close Wikinews. I understand the logic behind that recommendation: we have not yet demonstrated that a citizen journalism model can reliably and consistently sustain high output, high quality, and a meaningful wiki process all at the same time.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 16:04, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

::: There was no specific target in my earlier comment. I was speaking more generally about what feels like a broader tension on the project.
::: To clarify: it seems we may not all be applying the same review standard in practice. I’m not referring to you or anyone else ''specifically''. There appears to be some preference, broadly speaking, for getting articles published once they are “good enough,” even if not every statement has been explicitly checked against a source or clearly attributed, with the expectation that the wiki process can refine things later.
::: On the other hand, our existing policies and guidelines lean toward a stricter approach, where each statement is expected to be supported or removed before publication. That gap — between what the standards say and what is realistically being applied — is where I see a lot of the friction coming from.
::: I may be misreading that, but that’s the issue I was trying to point to.
::: On the concern about you being expected to carry the review workload, I’m not sure the recent activity reflects that.

== Proposal to auto-"stale" from review queue ==
If an article was submitted for review on day N, then on day N+8 could it automatically mark itself as stale? This could help clear out the queue from the old end. I picked number 8 because usually an article does not get published about events over seven days old; I may be deluded there so please adjust the number of days as needed.
Alternatively, the "review" template could change to "abandoned" after 7 days.
I am suggesting to get this decided and implemented some time soon. It would reduce the load on reviewers and sysops, in my opinion. Something similar was done for another template before, but I do not remember which.

== Improving review visibility and collaboration for draft articles ==
I propose increasing visibility and collaboration around drafts and their talk pages so more users can contribute to review and copyediting. That could help authors who aren’t keeping up with reviewer requests and would be more like a scientific journal process where at least two people check a page before publication. Since the software supports pre-reviews, we could encourage everyone to pre-review more broadly.
Proposed actions:
1. Add a friendly site notice inviting users to join a “newsroom” and review at least one article per day. Link to a Newsroom guide explaining categories:
Drafts = need pre-review, expand, submit for review
Queue = possibly ready; check carefully and flag issues
Disputed = issues found; fix and resubmit
That page like [[Wikinews:Newsroom]] but a mini-version: with only one paragraph intro linking to key policies; three lists (draft, review, disputed) one paragraph before each; one list (published in last three days) also one para explaining process of improving or cross checking those. That could be more user friendly for newbies than the current "everything and a kitchen sink" current version.
2. On submission, automatically leave the user a message with a request to pre-review at least two pages from the Newsroom, again linking to its over simplified version, perhaps even transcluding it to the user's talk page (via subst, so only then-current version is included in the message) as then they do not need to open the Newsroom link to see the topics being written about in the new drafts.
These steps should speed feedback to authors and surface more issues before publishing, and bring more hands to fix them.
Hope this is helpful. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:10, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
3. At submission, present user a button "pre-review my own article" which is like pre-review process they do for article they just submitted.

== Online workshop for training new reviewers ==
Hello everyone, to help increase the number of active reviewers on English Wikinews and support interested contributors in understanding the review process, I would like to propose organizing a structured, documentation-based online workshop.
Given that live video sessions may not be feasible for many participants, this workshop would primarily be text-based and hosted on-wiki (with optional use of chat platforms for discussion). However, if any experienced reviewer is interested in contributing via a presentation or live session, that would certainly be welcome.
The workshop would be divided into 4-5 sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of the reviewing process. These may include:
* Introduction to the role and responsibilities of a reviewer
* Core review criteria (newsworthiness, neutrality, verifiability, freshness, copyvio)
* Source verification and common issues in articles
* The review workflow (from submission to publication)
* Post-publication review and maintenance
Each section would include short explanatory materials (text, slides, or diagrams), followed by practical tasks. These tasks could include answering questions, identifying issues in sample articles, or performing a simulated review.
Participants who complete the workshop should gain a clearer understanding of how reviewing works in practice. Rather than replacing the existing reviewer nomination process, the workshop could serve as a preparation pathway, helping participants build the skills and confidence needed before being nominated.
Additionally, participants who demonstrate strong understanding during the workshop could be encouraged or mentored further as potential reviewer candidates.
To keep the workshop effective, participation may be limited to a small group. We would likely need at least 2-3 experienced reviewers to help guide discussions, review responses, and provide feedback. I would be happy to help prepare materials such as slides, flowcharts, and example articles.
I would appreciate the community's thoughts on this idea: Would such a workshop be useful? Would any reviewers be interested in helping organize or mentor participants? Are there improvements or alternative approaches we should consider? Thank you. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:12, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

== The last Wikinews article ==
Since the site will be frozen after May 4, I would like to suggest that we plan to have the top headline on the last day be something along the lines of "Wikinews closes after 21 years; community moves to Miraheze" or something like that. If the top headline is going to be permanently in place after that, it ought to be something that commemorates the ending of Wikinews. I wouldn't want the headline that the site has to live with permanently to be something like "Small town car accident results in nearly $200 in damage, no injuries".
Of course, this presumes that we can have an article commemorating the site's closure ready and approved on May 3, but it will also require the cooperation of reviewers not to put something else in the lead headline position at the last minute. -- [[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 14:13, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

== Proposal to cease publishing after around April 14 ==
Hello, as resources are required for migration, I am proposing to set a date after which articles will not be published. Maybe around mid-April. Then, a week later, clear the review queue and finish any maintenance tasks and walk away. Then this would leave around two weeks to setup a new site. Otherwise, I am concerned migration will be under-resourced. cc @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] who quite rightfully in my opinion wrote [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ASupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_a_landmark_ruling&diff=5003903&oldid=5003259 that]. Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 08:06, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
*If there is time to get new articles published during the second half of April, I think it should be allowed. The migration may be a more important priority, but not all the admins will necessarily be involved with that nor will it necessarily take up all their time. We are still getting submissions, albeit not many good ones. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 17:23, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
* {{oppose}} I agree with [[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] above. We could continue developing and publishing articles that reflect what we aimed to achieve: accurate, neutral reporting, provided reviewers are willing to perform full and complete reviews. More psuedo-reviews would be [[Wikinews:Deletion requests#Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians|counterproductive]].
: That said, it is already April 13 and there have been no substantive updates on migration, use of the name or logo, or related decisions. If the community waits for those before preparing for read-only, there will likely not be enough time (or community will) to complete the work. For that reason, some of us have already started shutting the lights down. See the following discussions:
:
:* [[Wikinews:Admin action alerts#Administrative matters for the closure]]
:* [[Wikinews:Admin action alerts#In anticipation of DPL being disabled]]
:* [[#The last Wikinews article]] (discussion above, article located [[Wikinews:Story preparation/Wikinews closes after 21 years|here]])

== Proposal to unblock bot for final DPL cleanup ==
I would like to unblock [[User talk:Dexbot]], to be used by @[[User:Ladsgroup|Ladsgroup]] to complete our DPL conversion to static lists prior to [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|pending closure of the project]].
The bot was blocked almost twelve years ago by Pi for being operated "without authorization in violation of project policy, and operated with an effective bot flag without local control as well as without authorization."[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User_talk:Dexbot#Unauthorized_bot]
Ladsgroup has used the bot already on other language projects for this exact use; to remove DPL prior to ''Wikinews'' being closed. See [[phab:T421796#11851688]].
There are [[Wikinews:2026 Wind-down Wikinews|just shy of 3,500 pages remaining with DPL]]. I believe a vast majority are the [[Wikinews:Archives]].
I propose the following pages and their sub-pages and transcluded templates not be touched by the bot (most are protected any way). These should be manually converted at the last minute (target: April 30) for maximum usage before closure:
* [[Main page]]
* [[Newsroom]]
* [[Wikinews:Water cooler]]
I do not believe admin rights will be necessary for the bot (and it doesn't look like they were utilized on other language projects), as the archives appear to be protected only to auto-confirmed, if at all. Flood might be needed, and if a local bureaucrat can't assign that and it's needed, I will request that a Steward assign that flag.
I will make myself available to change protection on a page-by-page basis, as needed to reduce our DPL usage.
This should be a community decision, so all input is welcome.
Also pinging all admin: {{ping|Acagastya|Bawolff|Bddpaux|Chaetodipus|Cromium|Gryllida|Koavf|Leaderboard|Leaderbot|LivelyRatification|Michael.C.Wright|Microchip08|RockerballAustralia|SVTCobra|Tom Morris|Tyrol5|William S. Saturn}}

:@[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] I don't think there's any reason to keep a 12-year-old block, and on that basis alone I've unblocked the bot.

== Welcoming policy and cleanup proposal ==
So we're busy cleaning up Russian Wikinews, and I noticed that our total number of pages is about to drop below what you guys currently have. This was surprising, so I checked and apparently there are 2978k pages, and 2765k of them are user talk pages created by [[User:Wikinews Welcome]]. And it keeps creating them. I was shocked to learn that English Wikinews sends a welcome message to every user ever.
Now I'm not part of the local community, but I do think that it would be in the interest of Wikinews as a whole (even in read-only state) to trim the fat as much as possible. Thus my suggestions are 1) that [[:meta:Welcoming policy]] be adopted and 2) that all pages which don't follow this policy be deleted (that is, if a user didn't create their account here, never made an edit here, and their talk page was never used by anyone else, it's up for deletion). In my estimation, about 100k user talk pages will remain if this is done.
I imagine that the technical staff (like @[[User:Ladsgroup|Ladsgroup]]) would be interested in having this go through. [[User:AtUkr|AtUkr]] ([[User talk:AtUkr|talk]]) 18:33, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
:{{support}} This is one of the lowest priorities I can imagine, but if someone can do this in an automated fashion, sure. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 18:54, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
:{{support}} Absolutely agree. Especially with the better Meta welcoming, I would support this even if the project wasn't closing, and since it is, this could tremendously help archiving. [[User:Johnson524|Johnson524]] ([[User talk:Johnson524|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
:Once this is decided, I think I can do the deletions server-side with a maint script. [[User:Ladsgroup|Ladsgroup]] ([[User talk:Ladsgroup|talk]]) 00:07, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
: {{Neutral}} I'm not sure how the project benefits from removing these pages or suffers from having them. If removal can be accomplished without neglecting [[Wikinews:2026 Wind-down Wikinews|other priorities]], then I see no harm.

== One more? ==
Hello Michael C Wright, I hope you're doing well! 🙂 It's been two years since I made my last article for Wikinews, but in lieu of the project closure, I wanted to write one more on [[Pope Leo XIV visits four nations in Africa]], and was wondering if you could take a look! I truly understand if you don't want to or have the time, but if nothing else, I wanted to sincerely thank you for all the incredible work you've done here over the years. Since you became a reviewer [[Wikinews:Flagged revisions/Requests for permissions/Michael.C.Wright|almost two years ago]], your work has been seen and truly appreciated by many including myself. Thank you again. [[User:Johnson524|Johnson524]] ([[User talk:Johnson524|talk]]) 06:30, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

: As far as I can tell, the last edit by [[User:Maoririder~enwikinews|Maoririder~enwikinews]], including deleted contributions, occurred almost 21 years ago, while the account BigKrow was created only 2 years ago. There is no overlap between the two accounts’ activity, which rules out voting fraud.
: Maoririder was never blocked on en.Wikinews, so block evasion does not apply here.
: On that basis, there is no clear evidence of misuse of sockpuppet accounts at ''Wikinews''.
: @[[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]], you are ''strongly'' encouraged not to use [[User:Maoririder~enwikinews|Maoririder~enwikinews]] here any longer. Given the [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|pending closure of the project]], that should not be an issue.

Are we sure I can’t use LinkedIn as a source, just because you can’t access it without an account? I’m severely limited in my Sirr article to what can be gathered from a profile which was last updated a decade ago. [[User:JJLiu112|JJLiu112]] ([[User talk:JJLiu112|talk]]) 18:00, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
:No, that is not why we can't use it. LinkedIn hides things behind paywall, and that is what is discouraged and well, we need to find other ways to investigate.<br>[[User talk:Acagastya|<span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•–•</span>]] 18:03, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
::That ''is true'', however: Once a reporter is accredited, when they document (Talk page or via Scoop or whatever) that they saw/heard/read something, that '''is''' the verification. So, even something that is paywall'd, does NOT automatically disqualify it as a decent source. Now, historically, we want our readers to be able to visit/use/go to that source, sure.....but paywall doesn't NOT automatically make it non-usable. Just for the record. Of course, we require 2 sources.....so, if EVERYTHING in the article is just what the reporter says they saw/heard/read, that doesn't quite cut the mustard. It is a critical distinction.--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 17:15, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
:::Could I have another admin's word on this? --[[User:JJLiu112|JJLiu112]] ([[User talk:JJLiu112|talk]]) 17:24, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
::::It has nothing to do with admins. Please do not confuse between admins and reviewers. But no, whatever they hear is not verification, it is evidence. And that needs to be verified by the reviewer. And if a reviewer cannot verify the notes, records or recordings about an alleged incident, that is not considered okay. I had given the example before and i say it again, if i claim to have seen a message sent by Leo Messi and I write an OR about it; if I cannot back my claims, in pizero's own words, "there is no reason to consider those trustworthy." Our trust in ARs is for their notes, not for the facts they found. After all, they are looking for facts, not Joseph Smith's golden tablets.<br>[[Special:Contributions/117.198.177.144|117.198.177.144]] ([[User talk:117.198.177.144|talk]]) 17:34, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
:Not sure who wrote that, but as is often the case, things are merely being re-worded here for the sake of talk. Yes: things must be verified. You bet. Yep. Sure thing. I (as an accredited reporter here) watched live stream/live feeds of things, etc. I wrote down '''word-for-word''' what was happening or being said. My notes were placed on the talk page. Those notes were approved by the late Pi Zero (or whomever) as source material. Why? Because I have been vetted as a trustworthy person. That is how I became an accredited reporter. My notes, taken in real-time, serve to back my claims, because the community here has stamped me as 'approved'. In the spirit, we shouldn't get too wrapped up with paywalled sources, because all of that can be problematic. My notes ARE the evidence. Reading the notes is THE ACT of verifying the notes. This is also why we need 2 sources. If I saw Joe drop his spoon on the floor, and photographed it and made notes about it, if there is no other 'source material' to back up the basics of what I'm writing, then it probably wasn't/isn't newsworthy.--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 19:14, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
:::: You being vetted as trustworthy does not absolve you from requiring to provide evidence. When reviewing your notes, I am trusting the source you used and your memory. Writing about something from a paywalled source and publishing it requires to put my faith in something I cannot myself see, let alone verify. And that is unacceptable. Gaining access to something which the reviewer is barred, and people generally are barred, is inadmissible. The reporter is trying to report without bias in an ideal case, factual; however, the info they provide is still dependent on the source they see. And paywall is a strict no. You want to go ahead and consider it by putting trust in it; go ahead. But I won't consider it verified should the information not be accessible to me. And that is precisely why we avoid the situation of ARs using "Oh believe me, I saw it" situation when they report something that cannot be verified from sources.<br>[[Special:Contributions/117.198.177.144|117.198.177.144]] ([[User talk:117.198.177.144|talk]]) 19:32, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
:As I've ''tried'' to make clear, I'm not a big fan of paywalled sources, here or anywhere for that matter.

::While I'm here, I'd like to give you a heads-up, there's another OR coming pretty soon (interview on Thursday, probably will start writing it later that day), and I don't want there to be too much of a backlog, so if you could put the Sirr article further up your priority queue that'd be great. --[[User:JJLiu112|JJLiu112]] ([[User talk:JJLiu112|talk]]) 20:13, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

== Category:Catred ==
Re:[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Catred&diff=4635213&oldid=4635140 this edit], I’ve seen how other wikis do this and it does not involve the ordinary REDIRECT magic word. They use a table but that is easily replaced by existing templates we already use, e.g. {{tl|ombox}}. Very little of what I added matches other wikis word got word but there are obvious limits. Licensing differences don’t mean we cannot use wiki code. ['''[[:User:Cromium|<sub>24</sub>Cr]]''']['''[[:User talk:Cromium|talk]]'''] 15:04, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
:Licensing difference also means we cannot use wiki code as it is as under the license -- but I don't understand why we need to make it look like other wikis? We should *NOT* have category -> category redirects, after all. So it makes it a very rare thing to begin with.<br>[[User talk:Acagastya|<span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•–•</span>]] 15:23, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
::The licensing differences do not apply to wiki code unless there is wholesale copying. For example, as far as I know, there is only one way of putting in a condition like <code>{{#ifeq:{{PAGESINCAT:{{PAGENAME}}}}|0||</code>. It would be impossible to do that in my own words because those are the words needed for it to work. I agree we should not copy things wholesale but this is a snippet for an unavoidable thing. I’m not trying to make it look like other wikis except to improve wherever possible. As for whether to have category redirects, I have seen several categories which we don’t need because there are more relevant categories e.g. [[:Category:Missing citations]] has not been used in a long time because we use the Sources template. I’ve redirected it to [[:Category:Sources]]. Then there is [[:Category:OTRS]] which needed to be moved to [[:Category:VRT]] but we shouldn’t delete the old category because it might still be linked to from elsewhere. Finally I’ve moved [[:Category:Interview]] to [[:Category:Interviews]] which wouldn’t work well if I’d deleted the original category. So I’d say we need a redirect template to clarify to other users. To be fair, you must have had a reason to create the template in 2018. ['''[[:User:Cromium|<sub>24</sub>Cr]]''']['''[[:User talk:Cromium|talk]]'''] 17:13, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

== How we will see unregistered users ==
<section begin=content/>
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].
We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you.

== [[200 in New Delhi, India drink cow urine to fight off COVID-19]] and [[:Category:Wackynews]] ==
Hello, long time since we interacted! Good to see you!
Anyway, Pi zero and I debated Wackynews in the past. He convinced me it is best left unused. It is far too subjective what is "wacky". Is drinking cow urine bizarre? I don't know, but it '''is''' unusual and may not make sense to other people. Doesn't every religion have something that ''most'' other people would consider bizarre or wacky? ''"Wacky Muslims walk in a circle around a stone block in the desert"'' or perhaps ''"Wacky Christians think Jesus came back from the dead"''.
Also, the use of Wackynews could be seen as personally disrespectful. If a person died in a freak accident (and 'freak' is a loaded term, too) which was highly unlikely, is that Wackynews? I wouldn't want to read about a relative of mine dying in an unusual manner being consider wacky.
I do not know where there are archives of these discussions, but the idea was to keep the category because it has so many old stories and even subcategories, but to stop using it in new articles.
I am certainly open to more input on this topic, especially since Pi zero is no longer with us. Cheers, [[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 04:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

== Need your input on a policy impacting gadgets and UserJS ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Dear interface administrator,
This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.
There is an [[m:Talk:Third-party resources policy|ongoing discussion]] on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Third-party resources policy|Third-party resources policy]] aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.
As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the [[m:Talk:Third-party resources policy|policy talk page]].
Have a great day!</div>

== [[:File:2018 Bangalore ComicCon (media) 8.jpg]] ==
Hi! This file does not have a license. Perhaps you could add one? Also I'm thinking most of the ComicCon files should be moved to Commons. If they are free they can be used on other wikis. If they are derivative works then they should be deleted anyway. So there is no big risk moving unused files to Commons. As I understand it Commons allow most files now. It is mostly a problem if the photo show a mask. --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|talk]]) 14:50, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
:[[User:MGA73|MGA73]]: It appears the organizers of that ComicCon forbade Acagastya from using media produced there anywhere but at ''Wikinews'', yet Acagastya said above they had planned to export all those to Commons. Well, I don't know how that'd be compatible with the restrictions given. At any rate, I've copied over the licensing used on other files in that cat to this one. [[User:Heavy Water|Heavy Water]] ([[User talk:Heavy Water|talk]]) 18:02, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
::[[User:Heavy Water|Heavy Water]] according to [[:c:Commons:Non-copyright_restrictions#"House_rules"]] that is no problem for Commons. However it could perhaps limit the future access to making good photos if the organizers of that ComicCon find out and is upset about it. --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|talk]]) 15:35, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
== DEFAULTSORT and EzPR ==
Can I ask why you did [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3AGadget-easyPeerReview.js&diff=4577164&oldid=4293058 this]? It seems to me we'd ''want'' to keep DEFAULTSORT, especially as the DPLs think an article was published on the day DEFAULTSORT was added, so adding it after the day of publication creates problems — I've seen admins add DEFAULTSORT to archived articles like your [['Rock and roll never dies': Italy wins Eurovision after 30 years]], pushing them to the top of the DPLs (which is why WN:ARCHIVE says not to). [[User:Heavy Water|Heavy Water]] ([[User talk:Heavy Water|talk]]) 18:42, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
== Please take some time out of your busy schedule ==
Dear Acagastya,
Hello and I hope you and your family are doing well.
* I'm getting digital ocean failed payment receipts
* Lacking access to wn-reporters, either via
** ssh or
** scoop email,
:as my previous laptop melted and hard drive died
Could you please take around 10 minutes out of your busy work or family schedule and investigate.
1) For ssh access my new pubkey is included below.
ssh-rsa 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 ADUNSW+z3480510@L-B2HDRG3
2) For digital ocean payments I will require my own digital ocean account to be added to the list of people who can pay bills for wn-reporters. My digital ocean ID is "svetlana.tkachenko@fastmail.com" and it may or may not work. Testing may be necessary to see how this will work. (This may require additional time from you at around the time the invoice is due, or repeated follow ups in case it doesn't work and requires support from DigitalOcean.)
3) For scoop email I believe that I require a password reset, ...
3a) ...and instructions how to set and reset passwords for other users such as new reviewers.
Many many thanks and I hope to hear from you soon. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 00:08, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

== Freshness on this interview ==
Hi, I was wondering if you could advise, when you have a chance, on your assessment of [['Creativity is boundless': Wikinews interviews science fiction artist Artnoob100|this interview]]'s freshness; it was conducted (by a newbie) on August 25. With the not-ready-revise-resubmit cycle (which included another reviewer judging it stale on September 26 but then agreeing with my disagreement with that assessment, after which I left it untouched for a while because it'd seemed they were going to re-review it) and myself getting distracted with other reviews (prominently, [[Wikinews attends Animeleague's summer 2023 Birmingham, UK Anime & Gaming Con|this]]), the first month or so in which I'd be comfortable with the freshness for its sort based on precedent vanished. And, now, even if the author is able to respond immediately to my latest query on the talk page, I don't feel comfortable with it. :S [[User:Heavy Water|Heavy Water]] ([[User talk:Heavy Water|talk]]) 16:33, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
:{{ping|Heavy Water}} a quick glance at the interview, it doesn't pass the [[WN:SG]], and it looks more like a promo, tbrh. I am not comfortable with the tone. But given there isn't an immediate expiry of freshness, should those problems be addressed, I don't see why it can't be moved forward.<Br>[[User talk:Acagastya|<span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•–•</span>]] 04:27, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

== Use of geocats on cats ==
Sorry to occupy your time with this. I think [[Category talk:News articles by person|these 2019 discussions]] were where I got that notion from. Pi zero said therein, "[G]eocats themselves usually only belong to the next category up the ladder: Category:Boston, Massachusetts belongs to Category:Massachusetts, but not to Category:United States nor to Category:North America; which is done that way to avoid cluttering up the list of subcategories of the larger geocats." ({{plainlinks|{{fullurl:Category:Guam|action=history}}|here}}, the same principle is treated as not just usual, but SOP). Later in the same discussion, he extended it to categorization of other cats: "Re geocats, as I already noted, the category relations don't get transitive closure: if he's [Robert Dziekański, beaten to death by police in Vancouver] in Vancouver, he wouldn't be in British Columbia, nor Canada, nor North America; we'd choose ''one'' of those." (For what it's worth, I agree these shouldn't be categorized into geocats higher than the lowest-level to minimize clutter. It seems to me that's a main reason we would subcategorize within the tree, instead of their existence being simply for collating articles for and providing more specific reader-facing DPLs.) [[User:Heavy Water|Heavy Water]] ([[User talk:Heavy Water|talk]]) 19:14, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
:For categories, yes, it should be just one higher-up, but we even had discussions for country-level, because states will be many a times empty, other than a few popular places.<br>[[User talk:Acagastya|<span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•–•</span>]] 04:43, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

== Question about DR and comment about bot ==
Hi!
There is not much action on either [[Wikinews:Bots#Requests]] or [[Wikinews:Deletion_requests#825_sxw-files]]. With no active crats I will try to ask a steward on Meta about the bot flag.
Is there any chance you could have a look and decide what to do with the DR? If I'm granted a bot flag it would be nice to know if the sxw-files are to be deleted or not. If they are deleted I will skip them. If they are to be kept I will fix them with my bot.
The background info is now located at [[Wikinews:Water_cooler/assistance/archives/2023/August]].

== Source of files ==
Hi! You have uploaded some photos in [[:Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]]. You have not added a source. Are you the photographer? If yes perhaps you could chose a free license instead of fair use? --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|talk]]) 09:49, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello @[[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]], I'm new to Wikinews and have been looking for someone to review my first article, submitted on Saturday [[Three world records surprisingly set at the 2024 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships|here]]. Unfortunately there are few active reviewers, so I am trying to reach out to see if it can be reviewed before it goes stale and gets deleted.
I'm interested in sticking around and contributing more, so I would be happy to review one of your future articles in return if I can become a reviewer in the coming months. If you aren't available, I was wondering you could approve [[Wikinews:Flagged revisions/Requests for permissions/Asheiou|Asheiou's RfP]] so that they might be able to review it?

== Help ==
Hi
Hope you are doing well.
Here are submitted for peer review:
* [[Photo exhibition “Ethnic features of the world people” took place in the Crimean capital]]
* [[On the campaign trail in the USA, June 2024]]
*[["Machu Picchu, and not only...", a new photo exhibition by Viktor Pinchuk was held in Crimea]]
Could you please review? Even a little edit or just one review would help a lot. (I don't require a commitment to review every day from now on.)
Would you like to get notified of new drafts submitted for review? If so, please tell me which topics (or any topic) and where (email, wiki messages, push notification on smart phone, notification in wiki Notifications, or somewhere else).
Would you find a [[WN:RNA]] page for reviewers useful, it would be similar to [[WN:AAA]] but intended for reviewers to discuss reviewing and related software.
Would you be interested other communications off-wiki to create audio or video contact with other reviewers? I think this online gathering could be an essential part to deduce how to make article authoring and review easier. It could be just 30 minutes a month, and you don't have to participate every time. I would write a meeting minutes note after each session and publish it on-wiki if desired.
Thanks!

The Task Force has released a report that formally recommends closing Wikinews.

: A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.
: If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:
:
:* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
:* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language
:
: The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

== [[Wikinews:2026 streak competition|NEWS STREAK idea proposal]] ==
Hi Acagastya,
[[Wikinews:2026 streak competition|NEWS STREAK idea proposal]]
would you like to sign up? It hasn't started yet, but I am collecting interest, and you can '''add your nick to the page'''. If you're not doing content edits frequently you could choose another streak period for your news content participation - for example, once each two months rather than once each two weeks.
----
It is being proposed to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example,
* "write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published"
This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.
The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think? Parameters are subject to discussion e.g.
* 'once every two weeks' or 'once a week' or 'once a month'
* should this be same for all or each person decides for themselves
* how long total comp running for, 12 weeks or 24 weeks or some other time
* some other ideas how to modify this
i would appreciate if you could reply '''by end of this week''', it would be helpful
please note if you are interested you may signup in [[Wikinews:2026 streak competition]] at page bottom and you will be notified at your talk page if there are any updates or progress of this idea
thanks a lot

== Could you review an article? ==
{{ping|Acagastya}}: At [[Talk:Wikinews closes after 21 years]] you mentioned that you would keep an eye on the article so it could be published on May 3. Are you available to review the article?

[[File:Logo V. Pinchuk for Wikinews.gif|thumb|left|180px|Author's logo]]
On May 17, ''Russian Wikinews'' attended one of the latest cultural events in Crimea.
[[Museum of Simferopol History|The Museum of Simferopol History]], located on {{w|Alexander Pushkin }} Street in the center of the [[Simferopol|Crimean capital]], has opened a new exhibition, unique of its kind. The exhibition of CDs of ethnic music of the peoples of the world called {{Translation note|''Aboriginal melodies and songs''|ru|Russian language|''Туземные мелодии и песни''}}; includes about one hundred factory-made exhibits from the personal collection of Simferopol [[philophony|philophonist]] — collector of musical recordings — and traveler [[Viktor Pinchuk]]. Most publications are difficult to buy in the {{w|Russian Federation}} and {{w|Europe}}. Each disc was released in the artist's country of residence: there are no {{w|Western world|Western}} reissues or computer copies in the selection.
"All the specimens presented in the museum were brought by me from travels and expeditions," explained the creator of the exhibition and added, with disappointment, that many of the countries visited are quite poor, and therefore do not have the ability to produce CDs.
About a dozen listeners were present at the opening of the exhibition, where only half of the collection was presented. The exhibition will last two weeks, which will allow not only city residents, but also visitors to get acquainted with it.

:Maybe we could consider migrating to https://miraheze.org/. Their Meta page is here: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze_Meta.
:They provide free hosting, although I am not sure whether we would need to purchase our own domain name. They also do not run advertisements and operate entirely on donations.
:However, a major clarification is required: If Wikinews is closed, will the WMF also relinquish copyright to the name 'Wikinews' and its logo? If not, I'm not sure how we could proceed. Perhaps someone with legal knowledge, or someone from the WMF, could advise on this? -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 07:13, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

:::: "almost all MediaWiki extensions" is an exaggeration. But it is true that Miraheze is significantly more willing to install new extensions than Wikimedia is: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Extensions is an incomplete list. Miraheze, while they won't provide you shell access, will let you self-service many things that require shell access on Wikimedia, such as config changes - they have a fairly flexible https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/ManageWiki interface.

Hi folks, this is NotAracham, Director of Trust & Safety at Miraheze. We've reviewed internally and are confident that we will be able to offer hosting (from both a policy and technical standpoint) should you choose to select us once things are worked out with the WMF. I and my colleagues are happy to answer any questions the WikiNews community might have towards reaching a decision. --[[User:NotAracham|NotAracham]] ([[User talk:NotAracham|talk]]) 19:14, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

Regarding the counter-vandalism aspect, our service uses Cloudflare (for both default and custom domains) to mitigate DDoS attempts, which has proven unfortunately necessary with some past antagonists. While we have an existing global CVT team to handle the more routine on-wiki trouble, we only have so many members with limited time to offer. It sounds like the Russian wikinews is one of the rare scenarios where it'd be prudent to assign some members of their moderation team [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/CheckUser#Permission delegated local CheckUser]. --[[User:NotAracham|NotAracham]] ([[User talk:NotAracham|talk]]) 20:24, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

::Miraheze Tech here. To add to what NotAracham has said, we have [[miraheze:Help:How_to_support_multiple_languages_on_my_wiki|a multi-language guide]] which covers some of the options that are possible on Miraheze:
::# Separate wikis connected via interwiki language links.
::# Use the same wiki for all languages. Pages are connected via interwiki language links by pointing interwiki links to the same wiki.
::# Use the same wiki for all languages. Pages are synced with the translate extension.
::# Separate wikis connected via wikibase. I am not aware of any wiki that uses this option, but we do have wikibase available with a few hundred wikis that enabled the extension (whether they use it extensively is another story). I believe this option is what Wikinews uses right now. If there is enough interest, I can see if it is possible to replicate the wikinews setup on Miraheze's wikibase install.

Question; would it be possible to mirrow this wiki, so when i make an edit here, it is also automatically made at Miraheze from my account; is it possible to allow users to login using OAuth so that they do not need to register a new account; what testing is required for a custom extension to be installed on site; where is it located geographically.

IMO moving Wikinews to Miraheze is just swapping one centralized authority for another. You're not fixing the problem, you're relocating it. Instead of the Wikimedia Foundation, you end up under Miraheze's policies, infrastructure, and admins. Different host, same dependency. If Wikinews is supposed to be a truly independent, community-driven news platform, then it needs its own infrastructure and governance - not another host that can pull the plug or change the rules whenever it wants. We don't even know if Miraheze can reliably handle a project of this scale (enwikinews only? all active language versions?). What infrastructure do they actually have? What guarantees are there for long-term stability, performance, and uptime? Calling this a solution is just self-deception. [[User:BZPN|BZPN]] ([[User talk:BZPN|talk]]) 06:33, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

One of the sticking points in discussions about the future of Wikinews was what level of hosting and customization was supported or expected; WMF having a high minimum bar for supporting production servers [and hosting all servers on shared infrastructure where a change to one site can throttle or take down others]. A number of community projects have indicated that, e.g., WM Cloud Services is not great for hosting an actively edited wikifarm. But if a number of free knowledge projects need a wiki farm with good archival practices, it might make sense for this to change, or to have an official partnership b/t WMF or the WM affiliate network and such a group.
To this end, defining the needed level of service provision (including multilingual support) would be a good step. [[User:Sj|sj]] ([[User talk:Sj|talk]]) 20:12, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
:Would WMCloud be allowed here? WMCloud is supposed to be related to a wikimedia project, if Wikinews gets shutdown its no longer a wikinews project.

:I don’t think the dumps page contains the data for logs or other non page info (may be wrong, if so I’d be glad for someone to correct me). There is probably a way to get this considering replica’s of the databases containing all information for a wiki are publicly accessible, but that may be more involved. I also don’t believe images are provided as an easy dump, but there are pieces of software that can create backups of all page content and images (https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/WikiTeam being the main one).

== Clarification: WM NYC and Miraheze joint bid and requests on Miraheze ==
Hello all, as mentioned [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Migration_of_Wikinews_and_future_hosts#Current_Updates on Meta-wiki], WM NYC and Miraheze representatives are in joint discussions with WMF on a potential bid for an approved revival of the Wikinews projects with permission to utilize the same name and branding.
While the community's enthusiasm for saving the project is appreciated and understood (hell, I've saved a project from the Fandom memory-hole myself), Miraheze '''''will not approve any new project requests from individuals (especially those who are not admins or crats on the language-specific WN projects)''''' until we have clear and full signoff from the WMF.
Thank you for your patience while discussions are ongoing.

== Interview style guide ==
I'm in the process of transcribing a very interesting interview - is there a style guide for this? Particularly, I wondered on the wikinews stance regarding removing "um"s, "like"s, and small phrases that do not contribute to the meaning. Thanks. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 16:10, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
: Our style guide briefly addresses this issue: [[Wikinews:Style_guide#Quotes]].
: The Chicago Manual of Style offers more specific guidance[https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/Quotations/faq0069.html], which may be useful to ''Wikinews''.
: Based on both, I would recommend the following:
:
:# Begin the verification process for the transcript and interviewee as early as possible by coordinating with reviewers via Scoop, similar to what was done [[Talk:Robert Dick and Mark Dresser re-unite at the Fridman Gallery#Email or in-person interview|here]]. Reviewers must be able to verify (1) that the interview took place and (2) the interviewee’s identity if they are named. (For brief, on-the-scene interviews, this requirement may be relaxed; this sounds like a more substantive interview.)
:# Include a transparency note in the article body, such as ''This interview has been edited for length and clarity''.
:# Ensure that any edits do not alter the interviewee’s original meaning.
:# Provide the full interview transcript (to include all verbal ticks or speech disfluencies) on the talk page, excluding any sensitive information, both for transparency and reviewer verification.

:Until any proposal is formally adopted, the project continues to operate under its existing policies and guidelines. At present, guidance specific to AI use exists only in the proposed [[WN:AI]] page.
:From my perspective, the primary risk to Wikinews is not whether content is drafted by a human or assisted by a tool, but whether inaccuracies, bias, or unsourced claims pass through development and review. AI “hallucinations” are functionally no different from human-introduced errors once they appear in article text, and both are addressed by the same requirement: proper sourcing and full verification during review.
:Accordingly, the appropriate approach is to follow existing guidance, maintain transparency where applicable, and ensure that all content — regardless of how it is drafted — meets our standards for accuracy, neutrality, and verification.

== Question about local WN links ==
On the article that recently was published, you changed a few links from the en.wiki link to the local link, such as {{w|New York City}} to [[New York City]]. The local link currently is a redirect to a category of stories about New York. Do you know, are all local links like this to categories, or is there precedent for creating mini profile-like pages here on frequently covered topics? [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 14:49, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
: There are a few things to consider with interwiki linking articles at Wikinews, especially using {{tl|w}}:
:
:* [[WN:SG]] encourages us to not over-wikify articles.
:* <nowiki>{{w}}</nowiki> documentation encourages us to convert it to normal linking if it resolves to a local [[Wikinews:Category Portals|category portal]].
:* Like any website, we want to keep our readers ''here'' rather than send them to another page.
:
: In the example you provided[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Bruce_Gallanter_interviews_Elliott_Sharp,_Joe_Fonda_at_Downtown_Music_Gallery_event&diff=prev&oldid=4977061], the <nowiki>{{w}}</nowiki> link resolved to a local portal, not to en.WP. You can verify here: {{w|New York City}}. So I followed the advice of the template:W documentation and converted it to a local link. I do that when reviewing and when archiving. I believe the goal with <nowiki>{{w}}</nowiki> was to slowly, over time, create our local categories and continue to convert old <nowiki>{{w}}</nowiki> links to point to our local categories in an effort to retain readership rather than send them away on a wikilink chase. <br>The [[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] generation, who developed our modern review system leaned more heavily on the journalism aspect rather than the wiki aspect and preferred that our articles look more journalistic and less like a wiki. They preferred that if we link to a sister project, it be for "particularly relevant background material" only. We have admittedly drifted from that guidance. <br>A quick tip for those who want to follow this procedure when developing articles: under Preferences → Gadgets → User interface gadgets you can enable "Underline in green categorizable <nowiki>{{w}}</nowiki> links." Then when <nowiki>{{w}}</nowiki> links resolve locally, you can quickly and easily see it because the link will have double underlines when your cursor hovers over it.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 15:53, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
::What I was asking is if the portal is ever _not_ a category but is a local article of some other kind. Are there any cases like this or are they all redirects to categories? [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 18:18, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
::: I am not aware of any cases where a portal is not a category.
::: One ''could'' put an article title into <nowiki>{{w}}</nowiki>. But that is not the intended use of the template and I suspect it would be removed during the review or archival process if found.
::: The same section of the style guide that covers wikilinking an article discusses where to place links to other ''Wikinews'' articles, which is at the end of the article, sparingly.
::: So in short; if the <nowiki>{{w}}</nowiki> template is used correctly, as a link in the article body, it resolves to something that provides "particularly relevant background material only," is not another ''Wikinews'' article, and does not otherwise contribute to "over-wikifying" the article.

:Hi [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]]
:* There is a nasty workaround. After using one AI to write, ask all AI to check for '''inaccuracies and grammar AGAINST THE SOURCES LINKED (not the whole web)'''. Have you tried doing this before? I believe it is a growing field in research and it could reduce risk of hallucinations. If it works well then the AI ban may not be necessary.
:* Could use that page https://gryllida.neocities.org/news/writer/v3/ and not upload to wiki untill it was requested to be checked for inaccuracies; revised; requested to be checked for inaccuracies; revised; and so on.
:* Inaccuracies could be hallucinated too. Thats why i suggest to check several AI chatbots to assess.

== Wildfire article ==
I don't particularly disagree (particularly looking at how the article morph'd after I submitted it) with your assessment of the article. A minor 2 points, though: I was just trying to throw together a 'quickie' breaking article. There are LOADS of things happening with that mess -- I was just trying to throw a little something up, really. And, historically: 'authorities' is just quick shorthand for 'the folks responding to the mess' around WN. We could easily publish 4 articles about this train wreck going on in Texas right now. I just don't have time. Somebody else started that article, I thought I was going to do a few minor bits then (I think) the OP vanished (not sure, though).

:I am still here, it's just that I am sometimes busy (in college). [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 17:01, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
: My intent here is to let you know where my head was at in the review process...this is not meant to be argumentative:
: I was initially prepared to publish a brief, breaking piece. But once I began verifying the details, it became clear the article, as written, would not clarify the situation and might instead add confusion.
: Public health and safety reporting requires extra care. We have a responsibility to be precise. We have previously published language — for example, in [[Shooting at Benihana restaurant in Maple Grove, Minnesota leaves one injured]] — that overstated what sources supported in a ''public safety'' context.
: With the [[Wildfires burn across parts of US states of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas|wildfire article]], I intentionally erred on the side of caution. We could certainly have reduced scope — avoided naming individual fires, or simply directed readers to official emergency information — rather than trying to summarize everything. There was significant confusion around the 8-ball fire, for example, that affected the accuracy of our article, that we could have avoided altogether by not trying to name all of the fires (in the service of speed).
: On “authorities”: the ABC7 source named specific entities (Amarillo Area Office of Emergency Management, Donley County Sheriff’s Office, Tyrone Volunteer Fire Department) for all evacuations they listed. In cases like this, specific attribution improves both neutrality and verifiability.
: But more broadly, once we begin listing evacuation orders, we need to do so comprehensively. And I'm not sure we have the ability to keep up with it once we start. Should someone decide to rely on our reporting for their safety, can we honestly support them? I'm not willing to say we are right now.
: Taken as a whole, I thought the article, as presented for review, wasn't ready. And I agree with you that oftentimes 'authorities' can be used. I also agree we can publish quick briefs on breaking news, such as with our story about the [[Talk:Homeland Security says Minneapolis woman shot by ICE officer dies#Help expanding breaking news|first Minneapolis ICE shooting]].[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 17:23, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

== Request for change to wording ==
It is my view that the message you posted on my talk page was worded disrespectfully as it was "abrasive", for your reference, I would suggest to write
"Hi, I am concerned undeleting a page to gatwick it puts other users at disadvantage as they, not being sysops, cannot undelete themselves, and have to post [[WN:DR]] undeletion request. Please let me know if you agree or if you would prefer a discussion in water cooler to get consensus and a policy clarification."
I think it is basically same content but it does not contain the "you are ignoring policy, you are being abusive" component - it is possible that your interpretation of the policy is incorrect and that consensus will be to add a note that admins can undelte anything. In your original message the way it was worded, it seemed that you were sure that your interpretation was correct. This is why I considered the tone of that message as abrasive, it creates additional and unnecessary tension.
The message is also long. It makes it more confusing.
There is no need to create it a lecture on policy. Mentioning a policy is sufficient. Message that is too long creates in my view more confusion.
In my view it is not necessary to include a hint that the reader might be ignoring that policy. Accusation of policy violation is not the main issue; the main issue is to converge on how to interpret the policy.
I asked similar question about wording of "notification about unsuccessful review" template for user talk, it is also coming from "we/community" and not "I", which in my view makes the person sound less approachable.
If some of above points, that seem important to me as they are making me feel "unwelcome" here, is something that you could consider when writing messages to me, and maybe to others, I would appreciate it. I believe it would make work more efficient and faster.

::: The guideline states that the only valid reason to even ''request'' an undeletion is if the deletion was in error. Neither of the deletions was in error. Neither of the undeletions had a request.

I haven't followed the full history of what's been going on between you two, and I don't want to pretend I have. But as someone who cares about this project, I feel compelled to say something. Wikinews is at a point where every experienced editor genuinely matters. So many long standing contributors have drifted away over the years, and the community is smaller for it. That's exactly why seeing tension between two editors I respect, editors who clearly do care about this project is difficult to watch.

I consider this behaviour dishonest as I call out abuse from a user only if it happened repeatedly despite having agreed on something in the past. I still have no clue what it is that needs to be agreed on, in this situation. Acagastya proposed a good solution, moving pages to user space to avoid them being deleted.

Over time, many of those processes have lost the rigor they once had.
: It may be worth stepping back and asking whether that reflects limited capacity, or a broader shift in how the project sees itself and its mission.

== Thank you ==
Thank you for really keeping the project moving over the last year. There was a similar stretch of time (starting shortly before you joined) where I was in the same position and I understand the amount of work that goes into it.
I apologize for going AWOL since the summer. I really got demoralized about only whether what we did here had any meaning whatsoever, particularly in the context of the almost inevitability that the powers that be will shut us down and erase everything that dozens of people struggled for for 21 years, every dream of the people we lost along the way, if they determine we don't serve the top-down NGO goals the WMF bureaucracy and their minions have for Wikipedia (I understand there is a final decision to be made on our fate in December?)
I was also drained by the constant talking about talking about doing something (although that's an eternal problem here) and more so the fact that I had to spend basically all my Wikinews time cleaning up (reviewed!) work because others (not you), writing or reviewing, didn't care for the basic standards we have established and documented so at least even if our work is pointless and lacks originality, we were good writers, damn it. I got busier, too. I don't know if I'll return to the level of activity I once maintained, but I'll try to do some stuff. Congrats on being demoted to the mop.

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as "near the neck" and not "in the neck", and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.
:Overall, this looks great, I appreciate the report!!! [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:38, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

: @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] is correct. The page protection follows standard [[Wikinews:Archive conventions]] to preserve the article as a snapshot in time. Articles are not intended to be continuously updated and instead should be complete at publication. In this case, however, a full review was not conducted and significant issues were not resolved prior to publication, requiring post-publication correction.

Hi [[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]], and thank you so much for your work on the Wind down of Wikinews and cleaning up the DPL usage. I have been following the recent changes and it's truly praiseworthy. The sheer amount you haveve accomplished is remarkable.
From article reviewing to maintenance your contributions have been a constant presence since the day I joined English wikinews. I have watched you do great work here, consistently and quietly and I am not sure I ever got the chance to properly say it. So, thank you. Thank you for everything you have given to this project, and for continuing to carry out the final cleanups even as most editors have moved on.
On a personal note, thank you as well for your guidance and assistance. It meant more than you might know. It's been a genuine pleasure meeting you here, and I sincerely hope our paths cross again across one of the sister projects. -- It's [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:45, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
: Thank you for the very kind words and I too have had the pleasure of working along side you. I have heard from more than one admin and/or reviewer very good things about all the tools you developed for the project. It's a shame we didn't get an earlier start, as I do feel we could have turned the tide for the project with enough like-minded people putting in the elbow grease!
: I look forward to working with you in the future and I'm sure we will.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 17:01, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

[[File:Wikinews-logo.png|right|220px|thumb|Logo of Wikinews, adopted by the community through a [[meta:Wikinews logo contest voting|logo contest]] held in January–February 2005. It replaced the [[:File:Wikinews logo.png|beta version]] logo.]]
The [[m:Wikinews|Wikinews]] project was scheduled to be closed on May 4, 2026, after the [[meta:Wikimedia Foundation/Board of Trustees|Board of Trustees]] of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] announced on March 30 its final decision to close all language editions of the project.
Wikinews was a sister project of other Wikimedia initiatives, including [[m:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[w:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], and [[w:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]], which support the dissemination of free knowledge and media. The future of Wikinews was raised for consideration in late 2025, with a Wikimedia Foundation task force recommending the project's closure, followed by [[meta:Public consultation about Wikinews|a period of public consultation about Wikinews]]. After this process, the Board announced in March 2026 that the 31 active editions of Wikinews would be placed in read-only mode indefinitely.
In the announcement message, trustee [[meta:User:Victoria|Victoria Doronina]] said, "We thank all contributors who have participated in Wikinews over the years and helped build a unique experiment in collaborative journalism within the Wikimedia movement. We understand that some of them might be disappointed by this decision. To our regret, the project wasn't able to fulfil its promise, and many of its functions were eclipsed by the notable news coverage in Wikipedias."
Wikinews launched in November 2004. It was first proposed by an anonymous contributor in January 2003<!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Archive&diff=prev&oldid=4306 --> and faced a community vote that ended 151 yea and 59 nay,{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote}} leading to the first demo going live in October 2004.<!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote --> The English-language Wikinews was formally created December 2 of that year, with German following one day later.{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews}}
<!--Context of blogs, citizen journalism (e.g. Occupy, Indymedia, blogger's bill of rights)-->
The project's early development followed a series of community discussions and milestones in late 2004 and early 2005. A [[meta:Wikinews/License straw poll|non-binding straw poll]] on content licensing began on October 26, 2004, alongside discussions on the project's scope and policies. The initial demo site, hosted at ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20041117013229/http://demo.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page demo.wikinews.org]'', was later moved to the English Wikinews domain on December 2, 2004.
Following the launch of the English and German editions in December 2004, additional language editions were created in early 2005, including Dutch, French, Swedish, Spanish, Bulgarian, Polish, Romanian, and Portuguese.{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews}} The project also adopted a [[:m:Wikinews/Logo|logo]] in February 2005 through a [[:m:Wikinews logo contest voting|community voting process]].{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews_logo_contest_voting}}

While many Wikinews articles were synthesized from other news sources, the project also posted original reporting, including interviews with people such as [[Shimon Peres discusses the future of Israel|Shimon Peres]], then-president of Israel; U.S. Senator [[Sam Brownback on running for President, gay rights, the Middle East and religion|Sam Brownback]]; journalist [[Gay Talese on the state of journalism, Iraq and his life|Gay Talese]]; and voice actor [[Billy West, voice of Ren and Stimpy, Futurama, on the rough start that shaped his life|Billy West]].{{verify|source1=https://www.cjr.org/on_the_job/the_wikinews_ace.php}} A 2005 article featuring original reporting, [[Unrest in Belize]], was cited by Wikipedia co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]] as Wikinews's first scoop.{{verify|source1=https://web.archive.org/web/20090415232051/http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/10/technology/circuits/10wiki.html?ex=1177300800&en=024e251d2c696137&ei=5070}}
Wikinews received some criticism over the years for not achieving success comparable to its sister project Wikipedia. In a 2010 interview, researcher {{w|Andrew Lih}} commented, "[I]t's not clear that the wiki process really gears itself towards deadlines and group narrative writing. ... And I think that is providing some kind of a tension in terms of getting Wikipedians to write for an organization such as Wikinews."{{verify|source1=https://www.niemanlab.org/2010/02/why-wikipedia-beats-wikinews-as-a-collaborative-journalism-project/}} In 2013, a link to Wikinews was removed from the "In the News" section of the front page of Wikipedia,{{verify|source1=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_176#Let.27s_remove_this_second.2C_non-specific.2C_prominent_link_to_Wikinews}} and links to Wikinews were also removed from the Current Events portal in that year.{{verify|source1=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_talk:Current_events/Archive_7#Removal_of_Wikinews_links}}
At the time that the closure of Wikinews was announced, there were reportedly only about 700 active editors among all 31 language editions combined.{{verify|source1=https://www.heise.de/en/news/Wikimedia-Foundation-is-shutting-down-news-project-Wikinews-11249432.html}} Discussions regarding moving the Wikinews content and community to another website were ongoing at Wikimedia's [[w:Meta-Wiki|Meta-Wiki]].{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Migration_of_Wikinews_and_future_hosts}}

[[File:Wikinews-logo.png|right|220px|thumb|Logo of Wikinews, adopted by the community through a [[meta:Wikinews logo contest voting|logo contest]] held in January–February 2005. It replaced the [[:File:Wikinews logo.png|beta version]] logo.]]
The [[m:Wikinews|Wikinews]] project was scheduled to be closed on May 4, 2026, after the [[meta:Wikimedia Foundation/Board of Trustees|Board of Trustees]] of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] announced on March 30 its final decision to close all language editions of the project. Discussions regarding moving the Wikinews content and community to another website were ongoing at Wikimedia's [[w:Meta-Wiki|Meta-Wiki]].{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Migration_of_Wikinews_and_future_hosts}}
Wikinews was a sister project of other Wikimedia initiatives, including [[m:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[w:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], and [[w:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]], which support the dissemination of free knowledge and media. The future of Wikinews was raised for consideration in late 2025, with a Wikimedia Foundation task force recommending the project's closure, followed by [[meta:Public consultation about Wikinews|a period of public consultation about Wikinews]]. After this process, the Board announced in March 2026 that the 31 active editions of Wikinews would be placed in read-only mode indefinitely.
In the announcement message, trustee [[meta:User:Victoria|Victoria Doronina]] said, "We thank all contributors who have participated in Wikinews over the years and helped build a unique experiment in collaborative journalism within the Wikimedia movement. We understand that some of them might be disappointed by this decision. To our regret, the project wasn't able to fulfil its promise, and many of its functions were eclipsed by the notable news coverage in Wikipedias."
Wikinews launched in November 2004. It was first proposed by an anonymous contributor in January 2003<!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Archive&diff=prev&oldid=4306 --> and faced a community vote that ended 151 yea and 59 nay,{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote}} leading to the first demo going live in October 2004.<!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote --> The English-language Wikinews was formally created December 2 of that year, with German following one day later.{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews}}
<!--Context of blogs, citizen journalism (e.g. Occupy, Indymedia, blogger's bill of rights)-->
The project's early development followed a series of community discussions and milestones in late 2004 and early 2005. A [[meta:Wikinews/License straw poll|non-binding straw poll]] on content licensing began on October 26, 2004,{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License_straw_poll}} alongside discussions on the project's scope and policies. The initial demo site, hosted at ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20041117013229/http://demo.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page demo.wikinews.org]'', was later moved to the English Wikinews domain on December 2, 2004.
Following the launch of the English and German editions in December 2004, additional language editions were created in early 2005, including Dutch, French, Swedish, Spanish, Bulgarian, Polish, Romanian, and Portuguese.{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews}} The project also adopted a [[:m:Wikinews/Logo|logo]] in February 2005 through a [[:m:Wikinews logo contest voting|community voting process]].{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews_logo_contest_voting}}

While many Wikinews articles were synthesized from other news sources, the project also posted original reporting, including interviews with people such as [[Shimon Peres discusses the future of Israel|Shimon Peres]], then-president of Israel; U.S. Senator [[Sam Brownback on running for President, gay rights, the Middle East and religion|Sam Brownback]]; journalist [[Gay Talese on the state of journalism, Iraq and his life|Gay Talese]]; and voice actor [[Billy West, voice of Ren and Stimpy, Futurama, on the rough start that shaped his life|Billy West]].{{verify|source1=https://www.cjr.org/on_the_job/the_wikinews_ace.php}} A 2005 article featuring original reporting, [[Unrest in Belize]], was cited by Wikipedia co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]] as Wikinews's first scoop.{{verify|source1=https://web.archive.org/web/20090415232051/http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/10/technology/circuits/10wiki.html?ex=1177300800&en=024e251d2c696137&ei=5070}}
Wikinews received some criticism over the years for not achieving success comparable to its sister project Wikipedia. In a 2010 interview, researcher {{w|Andrew Lih}} commented, "[I]t's not clear that the wiki process really gears itself towards deadlines and group narrative writing. ... And I think that is providing some kind of a tension in terms of getting Wikipedians to write for an organization such as Wikinews."{{verify|source1=https://www.niemanlab.org/2010/02/why-wikipedia-beats-wikinews-as-a-collaborative-journalism-project/}} In 2013, a link to Wikinews was removed from the "In the News" section of the front page of Wikipedia,{{verify|source1=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_176#Let.27s_remove_this_second.2C_non-specific.2C_prominent_link_to_Wikinews}} and links to Wikinews were also removed from the Current Events portal in that year.{{verify|source1=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_talk:Current_events/Archive_7#Removal_of_Wikinews_links}}
At the time that the closure of Wikinews was announced, there were reportedly only about 700 active editors among all 31 language editions combined.{{verify|source1=https://www.heise.de/en/news/Wikimedia-Foundation-is-shutting-down-news-project-Wikinews-11249432.html}}

After this process, the Board announced in March 2026 that the 31 active editions of Wikinews would be placed in read-only mode indefinitely.
In the announcement message, trustee [[meta:User:Victoria|Victoria Doronina]] said, "We thank all contributors who have participated in Wikinews over the years and helped build a unique experiment in collaborative journalism within the Wikimedia movement. We understand that some of them might be disappointed by this decision. To our regret, the project wasn't able to fulfil its promise, and many of its functions were eclipsed by the notable news coverage in Wikipedias."
Wikinews launched in November 2004. It was first proposed by an anonymous contributor in January 2003<!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Archive&diff=prev&oldid=4306 --> and faced a community vote that ended 151 yea and 59 nay,{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote}} leading to the first demo going live in October 2004.<!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote --> The English-language Wikinews was formally created December 2 of that year, with German following one day later.{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews#History}}
<!--Context of blogs, citizen journalism (e.g. Occupy, Indymedia, blogger's bill of rights)-->
The project's early development followed a series of community discussions and milestones in late 2004 and early 2005. A [[meta:Wikinews/License straw poll|non-binding straw poll]] on content licensing began on October 26, 2004,{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License_straw_poll}} alongside discussions on the project's scope and policies. The initial demo site, hosted at ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20041117013229/http://demo.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page demo.wikinews.org]'', was later moved to the English Wikinews domain on December 2, 2004.{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews#History}}
Following the launch of the English and German editions in December 2004, additional language editions were created in early 2005, including Dutch, French, Swedish, Spanish, Bulgarian, Polish, Romanian, and Portuguese.{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews#History}} The project also adopted a [[:m:Wikinews/Logo|logo]] in February 2005 through a [[:m:Wikinews logo contest voting|community voting process]].{{verify|source1=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews_logo_contest_voting}}

While many Wikinews articles were synthesized from other news sources, the project also posted original reporting, including interviews with people such as [[Shimon Peres discusses the future of Israel|Shimon Peres]], then-president of Israel; U.S. Senator [[Sam Brownback on running for President, gay rights, the Middle East and religion|Sam Brownback]]; journalist [[Gay Talese on the state of journalism, Iraq and his life|Gay Talese]]; and voice actor [[Billy West, voice of Ren and Stimpy, Futurama, on the rough start that shaped his life|Billy West]].{{verify|source1=https://www.cjr.org/on_the_job/the_wikinews_ace.php}} A 2005 article featuring original reporting, [[Unrest in Belize]], was cited by Wikipedia co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]] as Wikinews's first scoop.{{verify|source1=https://web.archive.org/web/20090415232051/http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/10/technology/circuits/10wiki.html?ex=1177300800&en=024e251d2c696137&ei=5070}}

While many Wikinews articles were synthesized from other news sources, the project also posted original reporting, including interviews with people such as [[Shimon Peres discusses the future of Israel|Shimon Peres]], then-president of Israel; U.S. Senator [[Sam Brownback on running for President, gay rights, the Middle East and religion|Sam Brownback]]; journalist [[Gay Talese on the state of journalism, Iraq and his life|Gay Talese]]; and voice actor [[Billy West, voice of Ren and Stimpy, Futurama, on the rough start that shaped his life|Billy West]].{{verify|source1=https://www.cjr.org/on_the_job/the_wikinews_ace.php}} A 2005 article featuring original reporting, [[Unrest in Belize]], was cited by Wikipedia co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]] as Wikinews's first scoop.{{verify|source1=https://web.archive.org/web/20090415232051/http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/10/technology/circuits/10wiki.html?ex=1177300800&en=024e251d2c696137&ei=5070}}
Wikinews received some criticism over the years for not achieving success comparable to its sister project Wikipedia. In a 2010 interview, researcher {{w|Andrew Lih}} commented, "[I]t's not clear that the wiki process really gears itself towards deadlines and group narrative writing. ... And I think that is providing some kind of a tension in terms of getting Wikipedians to write for an organization such as Wikinews."{{verify|source1=https://www.niemanlab.org/2010/02/why-wikipedia-beats-wikinews-as-a-collaborative-journalism-project/}} In 2013, a link to Wikinews was removed from the "In the News" section of the front page of Wikipedia,{{verify|source1=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_176#Let.27s_remove_this_second.2C_non-specific.2C_prominent_link_to_Wikinews}} and links to Wikinews were also removed from the Current Events portal in that year.{{verify|source1=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_talk:Current_events/Archive_7#Removal_of_Wikinews_links}}
At the time that the closure of Wikinews was announced, there were reportedly only about 700 active editors among all 31 language editions combined.{{verify|source1=https://www.heise.de/en/news/Wikimedia-Foundation-is-shutting-down-news-project-Wikinews-11249432.html}}

:I agree, it’d be nice to have at least a brief timeline. After all, this is going to be the last Wikinews article, so it really has to show the spirit of the WN community. [[Special:Contributions/~2026-26352-42|~2026-26352-42]] ([[User talk:~2026-26352-42|talk]]) 14:30, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
==Sources==
I am hoping that some news source outside the Wikimedia organiation will take notice of the closing of Wikinews (which could be cited as a source for this article). So far I have not found any coverage. For contrast, when the Internet Movie Database shut down its message boards, that did receive news coverage ([https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/films/news/imdb-message-boards-shut-down-why-films-a7562701.html The Independent], [https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/imdb/rip-imdb-message-boards Paste Magazine]). --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 20:29, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
:I did find [https://www.reddit.com/r/wikipedia/comments/1s7ujpr/all_wikinews_projects_will_be_closed_on_may_4/] this which is unhelpful but interesting.. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 22:59, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
:All I can find is [https://thedesk.net/2025/07/wikimedia-foundation-closing-wikinews/ this piece from The Desk] on the earlier closure proposal, which is a site I'd never heard of before, but [https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/wikimedia-foundation-considers-closing-wikinews/ar-AA1Ir0A0 MSN seems to think it's worth reproducing]. Otherwise, it's the occasional message board. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 23:29, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
== Content proportion of the article ==
The considerable controversy should at least be mentioned, with various Wikimedia pages you can read. We could even present it as an original report? an example is [[:w:n:zh:维基新闻项目面临“软关闭”]] from the Chinese Wikinews. ~ [[User:Sheminghui.WU|Sheminghui.WU]] ([[User talk:Sheminghui.WU|talk]]) 03:11, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

== Bot to convert DPL to static lists ==
@[[User:Koavf|Koavf]], thanks for [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T421796#11825297 the link] to the Phabricator conversation. Are you comfortable running the bot mentioned by [[User:Ladsgroup|Ladsgroup]]? I've personally never used a bot.
We'd also have to get bot+admin privileges, and possibly flood? That may take some time to get approved by the community and implemented by one of our 'crats (or a steward if neither respond).
If its possible, we should get a manual test run as a proof-of-concept first, as it will impact nearly every single published article.
Will it produce output of some sort, some where, so we can tell what pages were affected? I'd imagine we want to hold of on changing pages such as Main page, Newsroom, etc until the last minute if we could. [[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 19:29, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
:Tragically, I am too ignorant to run the bot, but to answer just one of your good questions, yes, anyone running it should have a flood flag. I'd recommend posting to Phab and asking if a user there is competent to run the bot. :/ —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 19:59, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
:: You may have seen my conversation with @[[User:Ladsgroup|Ladsgroup]] at the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T421796#11832371 Phab ticket]. I'm not quite sure of what they meant when they said this: "I wouldn't go through the normal process of access bot rights and co. This is a technical change."
:: Do you?
:: I don't see how they ''won't'' need admin rights or flood rights, unless they throttle it to avoid flooding, but that doesn't address fully protected pages (which many are).
:: We may still need the bot to handle the [[Wikinews:Archives]] if the bot is somehow able to convert the DPL output to clean, static output. See [[#Our Archives|convo below]].[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 14:39, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
== Our Archives ==
The archives at [[Wikinews:Archives]] are heavily dependent on DPL. I'm not sure how to handle that cleanly and quickly. {{tl|DateDPL}} is a key culprit.
Any thoughts @[[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]], @[[User:Asked42|Asked42]], @[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]], @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]], @[[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]]?
One idea is to create a new, static structure that is much less elegant, but at least somewhat effective at presenting the archives. But even that, I'm not sure how to accomplish.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 14:32, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
== Delete files ==
Somebody should probably delete all the files in [[:Category:Media files on Wikimedia Commons]], as well as check if any other files should be moved and deleted.

== Where will specific reports go - to the WP discussion pages? ==
The [[m:Proposal for Closing Wikinews|"Proposal for Closing Wikinews"]] ("Channelling the Community’s Efforts"), "by Wikimedia staff", states: ''"People interested in curating newsworthy content might enjoy working with the curation of the Main Page on the various Wikipedias."'', and continues: ''"The English Wikipedia [[w:en:Portal:Current events|news portal]] offers a feed that is categorized topic-wise and refers to articles on Wikipedia that have massive contributions."''. At first glance, this "channeling the community’s efforts" proposal seems to be in direct conflict with [[w:en:WP:NOTNEWS|this policy]]: ''"Wikipedia is not a newspaper."''. Where will specific reports (not the ''topics'' to which the WP articles are devoted), and their discussions, go - to the WP discussion pages? [[User:Don Stroud|Don Stroud]] ([[User talk:Don Stroud|talk]]) 21:45, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
:I don’t think this necessarily violates that policy, because it’s just a metaphor for “don’t add articles about small stuff that isn’t notable/people notable for one thing only (with small exceptions).” The Current Events portal just advertises articles about current events which are already found to be notable enough.

== Install inline comments ==
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InlineComments
Could this be installed here? It would be easuer to use than the current system, where highlight is a pain to delete on visual editor, and comment is hidden on talk tab. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 10:11, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

:Just to mention, it is not exactly like inline comments, but EzPR 2025 will include a feature called "Dynamic Marking" under the Sentence Marking section. When enabled, it will use a global gadget to load and display specific sentences that have been highlighted and marked by the reviewer on the article.
:This is not fully implemented yet, the global script integration still needs to be completed. However, the idea is to provide a more dynamic approach to sentence-specific highlights and unsourced sentence marking.The data for each marked sentence, including its associated issue, will be stored on a JSON page. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 18:21, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
::Hi [[User:Asked42|Asked42]]
::* I believe the dynamically marked comments, as currently implemented in EZPR2, have two disadvantages compared with the extension. First, they can be difficult to remove when working in the visual editor. Second, the extension provides a more user-friendly interface for replying to comments about a specific phrase in the article without having to switch to the talk page and back.
::* That said, one possible improvement to the extension would be to post a copy of the inline comment discussion to the article’s talk page when the comment is removed. This could be offered as an optional feature in the extension. At present, the discussion remains only in the article’s edit history, which may not be ideal, as the talk page is generally expected to serve as the central record of discussions about previous revisions of the article.
::Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:53, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]: I was not aware that there was interest in developing the extension as a gadget, which is, in my opinion, a much more practical and better approach. When the gadget is ready, I think we could also integrate it with EzPR 2025 to allow marking and commenting on specific text within an article. Therefore, I am dropping the Dynamic Marking approach within EzPR.
:::Just to clarify regarding your comment: "''First, they can be difficult to remove when working in the visual editor.''" - I believe you may be referring to the current approach of wrapping text with templates. Dynamic Marking '''was not''' designed in that way; it was intended to function more like inline comments. Additionally, EN wikinews currently does not have the VisualEditor enabled. So even if that concern were valid, the current approach would not cause issues in this specific context. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 05:56, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
::::Actually, in Wikipedia there is a dying backlog queue of drafts for review, to create a new page in Wikipedia, users may often have to wait 2-6 months while page is sitting in Draft: namespace. So, I wanted to suggest the gadget separate, then it can be added to ENWP for draft review. For this space here in Wikinews, having the gadget installed there at ENWP could be a part of leverage to get the extension installed in Wikimedia wikis, including here, eventually. Knowing how ENWP centric the ecosystem is. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 07:33, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
::::Btw, inline comment doesn't show which phrase it was referring to, and neither does an inline citation. Only one cursor position. And inline comments were such a pain to edit in VE... For once they are not even visible until clicked or something. :( [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 07:34, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
== Software suggestion to notify all users eligible to vote ==
For requests regarding permission, removal of permission, or accreditation, I suggest developing a tool that notifies all eligible users and includes a link where they can provide comments, ask questions, and cast their vote; and with a note how they can opt out of receiving such messages (if desired). I believe similar tools have been used on other wikis, such as Commons or Meta. Since this wiki is relatively small and some recent requests have received very few votes for an extended period, such a tool could help increase participation and prevent discussions from remaining open indefinitely.

== 3 WAY STEEL SLIDING DOOR ==
3-Way Steel Sliding Door
A 3-way steel sliding door is a type of architectural door system consisting of three sliding panels that move horizontally along a track. It is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to provide a wide (opening), enhanced security, and efficient use of space.
Design and Structure
A 3-way steel sliding door typically consists of three independent panels mounted on a track system. The panels slide in parallel, allowing flexible opening configurations. Depending on the design, one or more panels may remain fixed while the others move.
Modern versions of this door often incorporate a multi-layer construction, which may include:
Front frame layer designed to hold glass panels for natural lighting
Middle security layer made from steel burglar-proof designs for protection
Rear solid steel plate layer for structural strength and privacy
This layered design enhances both the aesthetic and functional performance of the door.
Materials
3-way sliding doors are commonly fabricated using mild steel or reinforced steel sections, which provide durability and resistance to forced entry. In some cases, the structure may include:
Steel profiles for the frame
Glass panels (clear, tinted, or frosted)
Steel plates or decorative burglar-proof elements
Protective coatings such as paint or powder coating are typically applied to prevent corrosion.
Operation Mechanism
The door operates using a track and roller system, allowing smooth horizontal movement of the panels. Rollers are usually mounted at the base or top of the panels, depending on the design. Locking mechanisms are integrated to secure the door when closed.
The sliding system allows for:
Partial or full opening
Space-saving operation compared to hinged doors
Reduced obstruction in compact environments
Applications
3-way steel sliding doors are used in a variety of settings, including:
Residential homes (main entrances, patios, balconies)
Apartment buildings
Commercial properties such as shops and offices
Industrial or institutional buildings
They are particularly suitable for wide openings where traditional doors may be impractical.
Advantages
Space efficiency due to horizontal sliding motion
Enhanced security when constructed with reinforced steel
Wide access opening compared to single or double doors
Durability and long service life
Ability to combine natural light and ventilation with security features
Disadvantages
Requires proper track maintenance to ensure smooth operation
Installation may be more complex than standard hinged doors
Heavier weight due to steel construction
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of a 3-way steel sliding door includes:
Cleaning and lubricating the track and rollers
Inspecting locking systems
Repainting or recoating to prevent rust
Proper maintenance ensures long-term functionality and safety.
