Template:NewsItem
More actions
Full record-page layout for News Item pages (2026-08-10 redesign; formerly a compact
card). Renders the page as a structured event record: header strip (kicker, date,
category badge, campaign), headline, summary prose with a source button, an infobox of
the structured fields, an automatic related-records section (same campaign, else same
country, via #ask + Template:RecordRow), and a provenance footer.
Parameters (all as staged by the batch pipeline): date,
category, title/headline, summary,
source, part_of_campaign, country,
admin1, admin2, locality,
coordinates, growing_region, agency,
plants, hectares, image,
image_alt; optional provenance record_created and
editor. The thumbnail falls back to the page's own
Has image URL annotation (og:image hotlink backfill) when no
image parameter is passed. Place values link only when the target page
exists; quantities render with a source-attribution note. SMW emission stays in each
page's hidden annotation block — this template sets nothing. The feed cards on
Portal:Current Events and the Main Page are separate templates and unaffected.
Styles live in Template:NewsItem/styles.css.
