This is The Signpost Newsroom, a place where The Signpost team can coordinate with writers, both regular and occasional, and people who have suggestions for topics to cover. See the boxes below if you have suggestions (something for the team to write about in regular columns), proposal/submissions (for articles you want to write/have written yourself), or want to create a pre-formatted draft article in your userspace, with helpful links and easy-to-edit syntax. Discussion occurs both here and in the SignpostDiscord.
Discussion of upcoming issues is done at the newsroom talk page. For general feedback on The Signpost as a whole, go to our talk page. To learn more about The Signpost, see our about page.
The Signpost currently has 5424 articles, 681 issues, and 12837 pages (4271 talk and 8566 non-talk).
To suggest a topic to be covered by The Signpost, simply click on the button below or post to our suggestions page manually. Example of good topics are
Editors who have done something extraordinary/wonderful
If you have an idea for an article you would like to write, you can submit it for review by the editorial team. You can do so by clicking the button below or by posting to our submissions page manually.
News articles should be kept relatively neutral and report on a specific piece of actual news. They can be on any topic of interest to Wikipedians, from general events, to technical news.
Opinion pieces are evaluate on originality, relevance to Wikipedians, and the quality of the arguments. They should provoke thought and encourage productive discussion.
Special pieces cover things that don't fall neatly in the above two categories. If it's interesting to you, it's likely interesting to someone else as well. Check with us and we'll see what can be done!
Create a draft
To create a draft of an article in your userspace, simply copy-paste {{subst:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Story-preload}} at User:USERNAME/Signpost draft (replacing USERNAME with your own username).
You can also use the button below. This will preload a form, which you can then save and edit. We recommend saving without making any edits to the preloaded form before starting to write your article.
Note -- It is possible that there are additional articles not listed below. When copyediting an issue, make sure that all of the articles in this list are accounted for.
Note: The below discussions are automatically transcluded from the newsroom talk page; to comment on a draft or submission, go there and create a section with the same name (i.e. "News and notes", "Arbitration report" etc).
As usual, we are preparing this regular survey on recent academic research about Wikipedia, doubling as the Wikimedia Research Newsletter (now in its thirteenth year). Help is welcome to review or summarize the many interesting items listed here, as are suggestions of other new research papers that haven't been covered yet.

Working on this, should have something publishable up in less than two hours from now. (@JPxG: what's the current best guess for the expected time of publication?) Regards, HaeB (talk) 20:01, 1 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I will be home in a couple hours. jp×g 01:00, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Mountain was a little higher than I expected. I am kind of tired; I figure I can publish a lame issue now or a good one in the morning. jp×g 05:41, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks! I got diverted from this yesterday, but will have it ready before the new deadline today. Regards, HaeB (talk) 14:41, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Move these up to the appropriate position as required (e.g. adjacent to News and Notes). Copy the section header from the submission page into the |Submission= parameter so that the "Check status" button appears and works correctly.
