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.

I think the part about bringing Articles for improvement to the main page would be better covered in the Discussion report.Czarking0 (talk) 01:32, 17 August 2026 (UTC)reply

@Jayen466 and Bri: please see Czarking0's point above. Also would you please mention the upcoming Wikimedia Café session in the Notes section? There will be two Wikimedia Café discussion opportunities in August. Both sessions will focus on the Next 25 initiative, including framing the initiative. Participants may attend either or both Café sessions:

29 August 2026 15:00 UTC (timestamp converter), at a time friendly to the Americas, Africa, and Europe
30 August 2026 03:00 UTC (timestamp converter), at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific

I agree. It was User:Mitchsavl who wrote that little paragraph, but I am pretty sure he won't mind either if you move it across, Czarking0. --Andreas JN 466 12:18, 17 August 2026 (UTC)reply
