ALB Wiki Launches News

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: ^[1], ``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.

How it works

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 the news hub automatically.

Why in the wiki?

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.
