Technical notes
Similar to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Issue pageviews (which is itself transcluded at the end busted because graphs don't work).
The core of this is Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Article list maker, which uses Module:Signpost to fetch article lists from indices.
These indices are at places like Module:Signpost/index/2022. These indices are (as of December 2022) populated by User:Mr._Stradivarius/gadgets/SignpostTagger.
Another task of the article list maker is to apply custom formatting to the entries it gets, which it does here according to the template at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Article list maker/Comment section.

Update: I fixed it, due to being a genius. |
It uses magic words, namely titleparts, to do this in a smart way:
{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|3|3}}

Meta and obscure
You can force this to use a specific page as the transclusion target by supplying the param FULLPAGENAME (which the template will use in place of the magic word).

They prey upon the average reader's lack of knowledge about how the encyclopedia's inner workings function. Falcon8765 (talk) 01:08, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
The FT article exhibits certain characteristics in common with some dodgy Wikipedia articles: parts of it are well written, other parts poorly written, and when considered as a whole it's bollocks. Columnist Andrew Waters strongly implies that Wikipedia has no existing peer review process whatsoever, which is an insult to those hard-working editors who spend much of their time assessing articles.

Well done, guys. Abyssal (talk) 17:04, 23 October 2017 (UTC) FundraisingIt would be very helpful if someone could update Wikipedia:Fundraising statistics, a page which currently includes no post-2015 data. – Athaenara ✉ 22:44, 28 October 2017 (UTC) Looks like the message is getting across, clearing the goal in quicker and quicker times... I still find myself pointing out to people that it wikipedia is in the top ten sites and yet no adverts ... all thanks to the good nature of donors, great job fellow humans! :) 09:35, 31 October 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leevanjackson (talk • contribs) Oh, really?"One reason for the new location was to move into a smaller space." Income escalating, size of the bureaucracy growing at a cancerous rate, and we're supposed to believe that WMF is trying to move into a smaller space? Uh, that I seriously doubt. Very, very seriously, I doubt. How much was the old rent? How much is the new rent? Which space is more trendy? Did WMF try to get more space at the new site and get put on a waiting list? There is absolutely something missing from this picture... Carrite (talk) 15:27, 21 November 2017 (UTC) Special report: Working with GLAMs in the UK (3,313 bytes · 💬)The post about Wikimedia UK's GLAM projects appears to take credit that the upload of 100,000 images from Wellcome Images was a Chapter project. As per the Wikimedia blog post I wrote about the project in 2015, this was managed by myself as an "independent Wikimedia Commons volunteer". There was no support given to me by the UK Chapter, had there been I would have taken care to provide Wikimedia UK full credit. Could statements about who did what be kept clear, and preferably stick to the courtesy to credit the right person when appropriate, even when an unpaid volunteer? Most of my more interesting GLAM related projects are listed at c:User:Fæ/Project_list if you ever need to check. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 16:14, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the slight rewording, however the use of "and now", makes it appear that the nearly 100,000 files uploaded to Commons must be at least in part after the funded residency started and is counted as part of the successful deliverables from that project. However based on checking upload reports via the wiki database, there have been no new uploads to c:Category:Files_from_Wellcome_Images as part of the residency project, in effect uploading came to a halt. Just to reiterate, the uploads were not part of the impact of the charity, neither were they part of any unpaid volunteer "helping with [Wikimedia UK] projects", they were a result of me, as an individual, asking for access to high resolution originals, which the Wellcome Library were kind enough to provide to me on a disk. If there have been significant uploads from the Wellcome's collections as part of the residency project, please do provide a link to where they are.
