Reporters: note here what items you are working on, to avoid duplicating each other's work. When you start writing a story, create a subpage in your userspace; put a link here to help keep efforts organized, and to solicit editing. You can create an article with the standard header by using '''<nowiki>{{subst:Signpost article|(your username)|(issue date)|(year)|(title)}}</nowiki>'''. |
|||
Bylines are used because this is original reporting (it's taking responsibility, not credit), but as with the rest of the wiki, editing each other's work is encouraged. |

==Notes for publication time== |
|||
Move finished articles to a location of ''Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2005-mm-dd/Short_title'' (mm-dd is date of issue). Once the articles are moved, edit [[Template:Signpost footer]] to add links to the articles, replacing those from the previous issue. Doing this after the articles are already moved avoids redirects, thus allowing the footer to show which is the article currently being read. Piped text in the footer should be very short, one word if possible. Then add the template to the bottom of each article using <nowiki>{{subst:Signpost footer}}</nowiki> (this allows the template to be recycled). |
|||
Once everything is ready, edit the main Signpost page itself. List the articles on the page with their full headline — headlines should be kept reasonably brief so as not to take up too much space. Don't forget to update the issue number and date on the page. The previous week's articles can then be archived by creating a new page at ''Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2005-mm-dd'' and this can be placed on the archive page with template brackets. Thanks to everyone for helping. |

Reporters: note here what items you are working on, to avoid duplicating each other's work. When you start writing a story, create a subpage in your userspace; put a link here to help keep efforts organized, and to solicit editing. You can create an article with the standard header by using {{subst:Signpost article|(your username)|(issue date)|(year)|(title)}}.
Bylines are used because this is original reporting (it's taking responsibility, not credit), but as with the rest of the wiki, editing each other's work is encouraged.

Notes for publication time
Move finished articles to a location of Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2005-mm-dd/Short_title (mm-dd is date of issue). Once the articles are moved, edit Template:Signpost footer to add links to the articles, replacing those from the previous issue. Doing this after the articles are already moved avoids redirects, thus allowing the footer to show which is the article currently being read. Piped text in the footer should be very short, one word if possible. Then add the template to the bottom of each article using {{subst:Signpost footer}} (this allows the template to be recycled).
Once everything is ready, edit the main Signpost page itself. List the articles on the page with their full headline — headlines should be kept reasonably brief so as not to take up too much space. Don't forget to update the issue number and date on the page. The previous week's articles can then be archived by creating a new page at Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2005-mm-dd and this can be placed on the archive page with template brackets. Thanks to everyone for helping.
