| | # ALB Wiki Launches News |
| | |
| | The ALB Wiki now supports **news articles** — original announcements and stories from the ALB Team, published right inside the wiki. |
| | |
| | Every news article is a regular wiki page with full access to the wiki's markup: [[cite: citations]], ```fact callouts, ```chart flowcharts, images, infoboxes, quizzes, and cross-links to other wiki articles. The only addition is a `{{date|YYYY-MM-DD}}` dateline at the top, which gives each article a publish date and feeds the chronological listing on [[Special:News]]. |
| | |

| | |
| | 1. Create a new wiki page — any title works. |
| | 2. Add `{{date|2026-10-12}}` at the top for the publish date. |
| | 3. Write your article using all the usual wiki markup. |
| | 4. Add `[[Category:News]]` at the bottom. |
| | 5. Save — it appears on [[Special:News|the news hub]] automatically. |

| | |
| | The ALB Wiki already has revision history, search, categories, cross-links, SEO, sitemaps, and IndexNow. Building a separate blog engine would have duplicated all of that. Instead, a news article is just a wiki page that happens to be in [[:Category:News]] — same editor, same renderer, same everything. |
| | |
| | The [[Special:News]] page lists all news articles newest-first. The main page shows the latest headlines. Red links in news articles seed future wiki entries, just like they do everywhere else. |
