أوقفت مؤسسة ويكيميديا مشروع ويكينوز بعد 21 عاماً، وذلك بوضعه في وضع القراءة فقط. يأتي هذا القرار بسبب مخاوف تتعلق بالاستدامة، وانخفاض نشاط المجتمع، وتوفر تغطية إخبارية أشمل عبر منصات مثل ويكيبيديا. يناقش أعضاء المجتمع حالياً سبل مواصلة محتوى ويكينوز وتعاوناته بشكل مستقل.

I went to join the new #WikiNews and propose my write-first, edit-always philosophy.

It was 2 users, and one was discussing how to program Clawed into editing.

 I taco'd out of there.

Boo...the Wikimedia Foundation killed wikinews. I suppose it's time to see if I can get RSS Bridge to scrape the current events portal, since I don't see an RSS feed...

Can we now say that aggressive Wikipedians broke the volunteer capacity on WikiNews?

Anyone can edit Wikipedia, and a lot of people have. But few people manage to wrangle with WikiNews because the style is hostile to effort.

I can't add a Mastodon account and start banging out WikiNews stories willy nilly. Nobody can, except the Wikipedian overlords. It's too precious for that.

That's why they have to kill it off (⁠눈⁠‸⁠눈⁠)

#WikiNews

#Wikinews is shutting down.

I'm weeks late to this, but better late than never I guess.

The Wikimedia Foundation is closing down Wikinews, a citizen journalism website styled after Wikipedia.
Wikinews will become read-only on 4 May.
