Any reason why a recent arbcom case that resulted in a de-cratting got zero coverage? ~~ Jessintime ( talk) 15:27, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Do we still record pageviews for every issue? I'm curious to see how the various columns performed, especially the Special report (no pun intended)! Oltrepier ( talk) 14:25, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
It seems that, beginning after the header "Kalloor" in the deletion report, the page width shrinks to the side. This also affects stories coming after it in the single-page edition. I can't see anything in the article source that would suggest why this is happening. FunIsOptional ( talk) (use ping please) 20:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
I am pretty sure I have cracked the code on this one: the images are all displayed using px
values, but a bunch of the other stuff on the page is defined with em
values. There is a way to force images to be scaled with respect to em
, which I did at {{
stupid t-shirt}} (see its stylesheet), but this seems like a giant pain (all of the offset params would need to be re-hardcoded, which could be done by bot but it would still be a gigantic pita). It should be pretty easy to fix this nonetheless -- just change the values for the styling on the snippet template to work with px instead of em. I think this will make the crops on the front page look good on mobile and desktop (and regardless of font size/dpi).

It would be good to have an archive for each column (if that doesn't already exist). Personally, I often find myself uncertain about which column to put my pieces in and spend an excessive amount of time searching for previous "x reports" to know how it should be written. For example, if an editor wanted to write up an AfD, it would be beneficial if they could promptly access all deletion reports to guide their writing. This may be anecdotal, but I have not found the content guidance particularly helpful. I find it more effective to read the pieces directly, as I learn better through that method; again, we all have different ways of learning. I think the code will be something like 'Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/*/Discussion report' with the asterisk as a wildcard. Svampesky ( talk) 11:58, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
