The Signpost archives
The Signpost archives contain a record of all of the major news and events on the English Wikipedia and in the Wikimedia movement more broadly, stretching back more than a decade of weekly publications to our founding in early 2005.
For a comprehensive archive (including a search bar, year-by-year links, et cetera) click here.
The following is a gigantic series of tables containing every Signpost article on the same page. This only goes back to 2015; for earlier articles, click here.

The poll was prompted by recent progress on a long-planned extension to Wikipedia's underlying software, which will offer a new, central page on which publications may advertise their existence, and will allow publishers to notify their readers of new issues or editions via web or email notifications instead of user talk page messages. |
