Issue Number 3

This area is for discussion regarding the drafts for Issue #3 of the ARS Newsletter

  • The sections "Feature", "Featured editor", "Featured administrator" and "Contest" are empty. I'm thinking about omitting the "Contest" portion for issue #3, because I'm not sure if there would actually be any participation in it. If anyone has the time to help out, a new newsletter could be ready for publishing relatively soon. Northamerica1000(talk) 04:52, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Instructions to create a customized Newsletter notice for new issues

  • Copy and paste information from the "Newsletter notice" link above to a newly-created page, customized for the next issue of the newsletter. Do not use the draft template "Newsletter notice" link above to notify users— create a new page customized for the new newsletter.
  • When creating the new "Newsletter notice" page, also create a new transclusion page for the table of contents section within the template. Be sure to include the new table of contents transclusion link within the new, customized "Newsletter notice" page. (See below for more information.)
  • When the next newsletter is ready, the links in the table of contents section on the template should be changed to link to the pages for the new newsletter. (See below for more information.)
  • To access this template draft directly, see: Wikipedia:Wikiproject Article Rescue Squadron/Newsletter/NotificationHeader2012. Do not alter the draft template— copy and paste the information to a new page, to be customized for the new newsletter.
  • Copy and paste information from "NotificationHeader2012" to a newly-created page customized for the new issue of the newsletter. If necessary, modify the fields in the table of contents section on the template to link to content in the new newsletter.
  • This new page will become the transclusion page for the new "Newsletter notice" page's table of contents.

Mailing

  • User:MessageDeliveryBot – to automatically mail the newsletter using the above wiki code. Example: {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Article Rescue Squadron/Newsletter notice}} (Again, do not use this draft template to mail, use a custom notice).
