Wikinews:Wikibreak

(Redirected from Wikibreak)

Wikibreak is a great way to let others know that you are away. Some Wikinewsies can be very active and newsoholic and might regularly require temporary breaks to give their mind some rest. Some find it easy to endure, whereas others find the separation agonizing. Often the latter find themselves grasping at any opportunity to go online "just to check what's happening".

Next time you are on break, don't forget to add a Wikibreak template to your user page or talk page.
