The Signpost

This template uses Lua:

Module:Template parameter value (sandbox)

Newsroom/Task

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/Task is transcluded mostly by Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom. It is a wrapper for Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/Task/core.

Newsroom/Task/Core

Of particular note is a series of preload templates this invokes for the "create" links.

Comments

This template uses section transclusion to automatically show the comments from Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom. This corresponds to the task name, so that e.g. "News and Notes" will try to transclude Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom#News and notes. If there's no section, you can create one at that title on the talk page and it will show up.

Serbian Wikipedia

Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Next_issue/News_and_notes

I posted news from today about Serbian Wikipedia editors banned

This is a development in a complicated multi-year story. These banned editors are highly active, with at least one each highly active in English Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Commons. I linked previous Signpost coverage here and have this framed to include a general explanation of what bans are and what they mean.

We have time to develop this but I started it now. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:18, 2 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

April Fools'

WP:VPP - proposal to redo enwp as Esperanto
WP:RFA - two joke RfAs, including a second mop to an established administrator

I don't know if we ought to cover April Fools' Day pranks but I noted the ones above. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:37, 2 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oh gosh I didn't kow these were cataloged. Found Wikipedia:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2026. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:40, 2 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
