I have started research on policies and related matters for the upcoming 'Discussion report' which will be on Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 July 14#File:Shooting of Donald Trump.webp. This report will be crafted in the same style as my previous ones, where I clarify Wikipedia guidelines/policy for those unfamiliar with it, while not over-explaining for Wikipeidans (the main audience). In this instance, I'll be detailing the image use policy (which I'll first need to research myself). Svampesky (talk) 19:08, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Query. I'm reviewing the discussion and making notes on it (there is quite a lot to go through). However, I have observed that JPxG participated in the discussion. Could this be a conflict of interest, as he is the one that decides what is and isn't published in The Signpost? If so, my initial thoughts are that JPxG either pre-approves the piece, or has someone else approve it, ensuring that he has no editorial involvement.

    I am definitely out of this one, as well as anything about the article, as I decided to try camping out on the talk page with all the AP2 editors during a major ongoing world politics event. Not recommended for the faint of heart. jp×g🗯️ 02:04, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The essay "Reflections on editing and obsession" looks like it sat for over a dozen years unpublished. I'd like to revive it, either as an Essay or as Cobwebs? ☆ Bri (talk) 21:27, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I thought we had cleared all of those out! Yeah, this looks quite good. jp×g🗯️ 07:54, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking of cobwebs, I was fixing some template stuff and found User:Jorgenev/Minors and Wikiproject pornography, from 2011, which is formatted as a Signpost article but doesn't have the draft template or anything on it. It doesn't seem to have ever been published in full. There was a brief mention at Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-09-26/News_and_notes but it looks like a bunch of the stuff never made it in. Is this anything? jp×g🗯️ 01:45, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's over 10 years old. Whatever relevance it ever had is long gone. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 08:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I recently got a pop up on my phone browser (Safari) about night mode on Wikipedia. Major new update for the next Signpost. I'll be working on a different piece for the next issue. Is it possible for the page of the piece automatically turns to night mode, even if the viewer hasn't set it up? That would be best. Svampesky (talk) 11:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can probably use TemplateStyles for this. – SJ + 16:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[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.
