Wikinews
[edit | edit source]Hello, as Wikinews was moving to closure in a month, I am wondering if you wanted to open a new "book" for news following Wikinews workflows: there are some style and content requirements, a peer review process. And, a few days after an article is published, it becomes archived and is no longer editable. Then migration off-site to e.g. Miraheze can be avoided. This was not discussed in Wikinews internally, but I am wondering if this site would be open to such an addition. Gryllida 09:38, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- Links: content guide, style guide, home page. Reviewers would need to apply for flagged revs permissions. Gryllida 09:40, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- Note it was about all language editions, so some way for users to write in multiple languages would be needed. Gryllida 09:41, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Gryllida Thank you for letting us know! I think it would take a large community discussion to decide on something like this for a few reasons:
- News violates established Wikibooks policies (see WB:NEWS).
- News wouldn't fit neatly into our current content structuring, which is optimized for a different kind of content.
- I'll let other people chime in here, but it seems on first glance like it would be a big sell. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 19:23, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
