Welcome to Wikinews

Getting started as a contributor How to write an article Pick something current? Use two independent sources? Read your sources before writing the story in your own words?. Do choose a unique title? before you start. Follow Wikinews' structure? for articles, answering as many of who what when where why and how? as you can; summarised in a short, two- or three-sentence opening paragraph. Once complete, your article must be three or more paragraphs. If you need help, you can add {{helpme}} to your talkpage, along with a question, or alternatively, just ask? Use this tab to enter your title and get a basic article template. [RECOMMENDED. Starts your article through the semi-automated {{develop}}—>{{review}}—>{{publish}} collaboration process.]

Welcome! Thank you for joining Wikinews; we'd love for you to stick around and get more involved. To help you get started we have an essay that will guide you through the process of writing your first full article. There are many other things you can do on the project, but its lifeblood is new, current, stories written neutrally. As you get more involved, you will need to look into key project policies and other discussions you can participate in; so, keep this message on this page and refer to the other links in it when you want to learn more, or have any problems.

All Wikimedia projects have rules. Here are ours. Listed here are the official policies of the project, you may be referred to some of them if your early attempts at writing articles don't follow them. Don't let this discourage you, we all had to start somewhere. The rules and guides laid out here are intended to keep content to high standards and meet certain rules the Wikimedia Foundation applies to all projects. It may seem like a lot to read, but you do not have to go through it all in one sitting, or know them all before you can start contributing. Remember, you should enjoy contributing to the project. If you're really stuck come chat with the regulars. There's usually someone in chat who will be happy to help, but they may not respond instantly.

The core policies Neutral point of view Cite sources Writing an article Content guide Style guide Reviewing articles

Places to go, people to meet Wiki projects work because a sense of community forms around the project. Although writing news is far more individualistic than contributing to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, people often need minor help with things like spelling and copyediting. If a story isn't too old you might be able to expand it, or if it is disputed you may be able to find some more sources and rescue it before it is listed for deletion. There are always discussions going on about how the site could be improved, and your input is of value. Check the links here to see where you can give input to the running of the Wikinews project.

When tagging SD to templates

You have to add noinclude tags. I mean, you have to add tags like <noinclude>{{delete}}</noinclude>. This prevents other pages (where the template for deletion has been added) getting counted for speedy deletion. SWViewer does not seem to handle noinclude tags but you can use Twinkle Global to automatically add noinclude tags with {{delete}}. MathXplore (talk) 03:12, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Understood, I'll add the noinclude tags next time. 64andtim (talk) 03:13, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

I do not know what you mean, but I blocked them on enwikibooks. Codename Noreste (talk) 20:42, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Block them here wikinews please @Codename Noreste BigKrow (talk) 20:43, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

I am neither an administrator nor a global sysop, so unfortunately there is nothing I can do until they are globally locked. Codename Noreste (talk) 20:45, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

streak proposal

Hi, I am proposing to setup w:streak goals over a 12 week period: for example,

• "write one story each two weeks, and 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 day shift as you are expected to remain available 'on call' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with outbursts of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce burnout. Could you please check out at this section and let me know what you think? Gryllida 03:14, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
