Single-page edition is broken
[edit ]Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Single/2025-01-15 is nearly empty, and Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Single shows the list of stories (slightly broken) but not the stories itself. @JPxG: can you take a look? FunIsOptional (talk) (please use ping!) 08:07, 15 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- In bed but I think it is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2025-01-15/Op-ed -- throwing a ref error is what the single page says. Try
intitle:"Signpost/2025-01-15" insource:/\<ref/
to find ref tags in articles ? I would appreciatr someone helping eith this. jp ×ばつg 🗯️ 08:20, 15 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]- ohhhh i bet its the CALCULATORS. well ok here are the pagesizes

- Okay, God knows what is actually wrong -- I am severely in need of going back to bed -- but I have gotten some grotesque trailer-park hack to work so that people can, at least, read a working single-page edition for these first few hours. This should be diagnosed and fixed when I wake up. Thanks to @Tamzin: for figuring out that just transclusing the articles directly worked... jp ×ばつg 🗯️ 08:50, 15 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

- Looks like the original version of the single page edition works now, but
Post‐expand include size: 2003573/2097152 bytesis really close to the limit. You are probably right that the calculator examples take up quite a bit of that limit (The calculator article is 892980 / 2097152 bytes which is 43% of that limit). Bawolff (talk) 12:57, 15 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Possibly unrelated to the above, I cleaned up some mismatched block and article start/end tags that were causing some of the articles to be too narrow in the single-page edition. A check for matching start/end templates could go on the publication checklist. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:01, 16 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Single page edition is broken again

I can see three red links instead of the relevant sections. --2A04:4A43:909F:F990:D0:B7A6:F407:709A (talk) 02:22, 7 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- Appears to be caused by that emergency hack by JPxG above. I've reverted to the older "unhacked" version which appears to be working. FunIsOptional (talk) (please use ping!) 06:39, 7 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Social media suggestion
[edit ]I noticed that the Signpost currently posts on Twitter, Facebook, and Mastodon. I would like to suggest potentially branching out to Bluesky. It is a very popular Twitter alternative, with over 30 million accounts, and a lot of former Twitter users have moved over. QuicoleJR (talk) 20:13, 17 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
