Getting started as a contributor
|
|
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.  | |

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. |

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. |

Orphans
editThank you for tagging those orphaned pages. Much appreciated. [24Cr][talk] 13:22, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- I second 24Cr's gratitude. I don't know by which process you are finding them or if you intend to continue (it looks like you are going alphabetically). If it is easier for you to put the titles in a list on a subpage, feel free to do so. If it is easier to tag each one with speedy, then continue. Whatever is the least amount of work for you. Cheers, --SVTCobra 18:41, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Cromium @SVTCobra here is some that I have found. (can someone create a collapse template on this wiki wikidata:Q7211599)

Done Oh, and creating a Collapse template is way above my tech skills. --SVTCobra 21:33, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. You can use {{Hidden}} for collapsing. [24Cr][talk] 08:35, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

- Done Do you have the ability to check the Comments namespace (aka Opinions) for orphans? I caught a few which were associated with these orphaned talk pages, but there might be some floating around entirely on their own. Cheers and thanks again. --SVTCobra 19:53, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
