Must-have for every news page:

News text of at least three paragraphs. Traditionally it's a sequence of lead (short summary) — details — background (supplemental clarifications).
Links to sources of information.
Thematic image chosen from Wikimedia Commons or specifically uploaded thereto.
Categories (2-3 principle ones via {{News on the topic}} template and any number in {{Categories}} template at page bottom).

Once the news is ready, it should be put up for review — to be checked by uninvolved editors. For this, follow instructions to replace {{Develop}} template at the top of the news page by {{Review}}. Independent editor will then review and publish the news. For more details about review, see policy on Checking articles.

After review and approval by the editor your news will be published at the Main Pages:

Feel free to ask help at the talk page of any active editor (see participant's last edit date at Contribution tab).

Attention! Wikinews only publishes posts about recent events. If the article is not completed or not put up for review, or is unchecked and not approved by an independent editor for whatever reason, it is deleted in one-two weeks time.
