Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost

All comments page not working?

I tried purging to no avail Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Single/2026-06-21 which is supposed to transclude the comments from all individual articles, where it does work for previous issue Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Single/2026-05-22 ~ In solidarity 🦝 Shushugah (talk) 11:15, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

Ah Module:Signpost/index/2026 is not updated yet with the June 21 2026 publication ~ In solidarity 🦝 Shushugah (talk) 11:26, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

This happens almost every time a new issue is published. I think it needs to get on the publication checklist, but I don't know where that lives. I'd be happy to update something when I see this problem, but it is not clear if it is easy or even possible for me to do it myself. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:59, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

A broken gallery tag was also breaking the single-issue page. Inspecting that page for oddities (e.g. missing -end templates sometimes cause weird indenting) also needs to go on the publication checklist. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:03, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

The page at Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Single/2026-06-21 is still not populated. It should contain pages like Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2026-06-21/From the editors. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:59, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Commenting on mobile needs a fix

Because of how the comments are wrapped on signpost talk pages... commenting on mobile requires you to edit in source mode. Further, you can't actually see anything on talk pages unless you click the "learn more about this page" icon. I don't claim to have a technical solution, but it can't be that hard to figure out how to just display comments regular style so you can, for instance, use discussion reply links.

On regular Talk pages on mobile web, that "Learn more about this page" hides so much: project tags, previous Prod or AFD info, archive links. Editing that info also works poorly (raised as T394572). As you say, mobile Reply is non-functional for Signpost Talk pages; possibly worth raising on Phabricator, but maybe some form of interference with the Signpost-article-comments-end template.

I'd sign up, if it were just a brief link and a teaser

Hello. I would love to read the Signpost every time it's published, but I have an aversion to long messages on my Talk page, especially when they duplicate content elsewhere. Any chance you could create a highly abbreviated version, either with just a link and the date, or may be a one-sentence invitation with the top three links as a teaser? I would sign up for a message that was just this:

Wikipedia Signpost of 2026-07-13

The Signpost of 13 July 2026 (Single page) is here! Read about: Larry Sanger ban; Wikicurious; LLMs and NPOV, and more. /sig/

Or, if it's easier, just the first part, with no teaser. I'd really love to get the reminder each time, as I forget to look otherwise, and end up constantly missing them, unless I bump into the message on someone else's UTP. Any chance? Mathglot (talk) 18:22, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Add yourself here and you'll have a talk page reminder/delivery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Subscribe#Add_pages Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:27, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll try {{Signpost-subscription-inline}} on my UTP first and see if I notice that as it updates. Much appreciated. Mathglot (talk) 18:35, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Another option is to put Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost on your watchlist. Works for me, anyway. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:27, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

Interactive quiz

Is it possible to have an interactive, multiple-choice quiz in The Signpost? I have an idea for a piece, with the potential to turn it into a series. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:35, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

it should be possible using {{calculator}} Bawolff (talk) 22:21, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

I made an example in my userspace at User:Bawolff/Quiz Bawolff (talk) 22:37, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
