Watchlist notices

If I'm reading MediaWiki talk:Watchlist-messages/Archive 12 correctly, the Signpost hasn't had a watchlist notice since May. Is this a problem with the Signpost publishing script, or something else? Could it be fixed? This is the main way I was getting reminded to read the Signpost.

Is the Signpost still publishing bi-weekly? Was that a factor in watchlist notices getting declined? Personally I liked it when the Signpost published monthly instead of bi-weekly, so just throwing that out there. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:09, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

I just put Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost on my watchlist. The traffic on this talk page is low enough that nearly every time this page pops up on my watchlist, it's for a new issue. I think you can also get a notice delivered to your talk page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:22, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

@Jonesey95: To get a notification *only* about new issues without the talk page traffic, you can watch Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/Templates/Issue. For anyone who wants them, subscriptions are thataway. Graham87 (talk) 12:23, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

We got pushback from the community on using the watchlist notices when we made publication more frequent than monthly: see MediaWiki talk:Watchlist-messages/Archive 12. I would not say it was consistent or overwhelming, but if somebody wanted to get it started again, it would probably need some kind of approval. The "monthly only" dictum might have spawned from the closure of this request. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:33, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Perhaps the publishing script could be modified to only request a watchlist notice once every other issue. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:47, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

For context, Misplaced Pages talk:Misplaced Pages Signpost/Newsroom/Archive 35 § Watchlist notifications is where the last discussion on this can be seen. isaacl (talk) 17:17, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

I see the delivery notice on the user talk page of several colleagues. That's plenty for me; no need to put it in the watchlist header. Jim.henderson (talk) 11:02, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Ping JPxG

@JPxG I emailed you an idea for a submission a few days ago but didn't hear back, even after after following up with {{ygm}} on your talk page. Can you confirm that you saw my email and/or I'm following the right process? RoySmith (talk) 16:08, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

New former editor-in-chief?

I'm a bit confused by this edit: is there a new former editor-in-chief who doesn't appear in Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/About § Editors in chief? isaacl (talk) 02:32, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

That editor (called EricPupper at the time) declared themselves to be EiC in a moment of turnover at this project. I was already out as part of the team so I can't really speak to which issues EricPupper published. As I was a prior regime guy, I'll say no more. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

My mistake; I forgot (or didn't know about?) the account rename. isaacl (talk) 02:57, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Color of section headings

Is it just me, or are the black section headings above the white article titles incredibly hard to see? They are placed on top of predominantly dark images, doesn't just make them hard to read, some of them are nearly invisible. Couldn't they just be made a similar color to the article titles themselves? Toadspike (talk) 14:34, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Links between Comix columns

As far as I can tell, six "Comix" columns were published:

Two questions:

First two (2022-08-31 and 2022-09-30) link to each other because the name of the column was changed. Shouldn't similar links be added between 2023-01-01 and 2023-12-04?
2023-12-24 links to 2023-12-04 at the bottom as ← Previous "Comix". But 2023-12-04 doesn't link back as Next "Comix" →. This just seems like a bug.
