This template uses section transclusion to automatically show the comments from Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom. This corresponds to the task name, so that e.g. "News and Notes" will try to transclude Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom#News and notes. If there's no section, you can create one at that title on the talk page and it will show up.

Use this space to note any kind of news or event we should cover on next issue's column:

Wiki Loves Africa 2025: the Commons contest has ended on 30 April, while the winners will be selected in July and announced in August, during Wikimania 2025 in Nairobi. A dedicated Gallery wouldn't be a bad option to consider, either!
Maybe a sum-up, or just a mention of the Wikimedia Hackathon in Istanbul?
...

Hello! On 30 April, Chris Albon and Leila Zia posted on Diff about the WMF's "new strategy" on generative AI, which they're planning to use to build new features for editors across the Wikimedia projects. Full details can be found on Meta-Wiki, and the news have been covered by The Verge and TechCrunch, among others. Oltrepier (talk) 14:45, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
