Wikinews was a free-content news source wiki. The site worked through collaborative journalism.

The project has been transitioned into "read-only mode" on 2026-05-04. Discussions in the community about a possible continuation of the project in another form, possibly as Wikinews Pulse^{[IA•Wcite•.today]}, have not yet concluded at the time of writing.

The hosts seem to be rate-limited, so the read-only MediaWikis need to be run at slower speeds and spread across pipeline hosts
