I've decided that now is a *very* appropriate time to, once again, try
and restart discussion on Wikipedia paying more than lipservice to
Wikinews as the appropriate venue for news coverage.

These appear to be most of the enWP templates which caution that a
section of the encyclopedia relates to *news*. You can see the additions
I've made to highlight Wikinews coverage where it exists, and if not,
urge people to contribute on Wikinews.
This went down quite badly last time. I'll bite my tongue and just
describe the reaction to such a link on Ted Kennedy's death as
"hostile". Realistically, this needs to come as a significant push from
someone like Jimmy.
Anyway, any thoughts on fine-tuning this? Please note, I've put tooltips
on all the given links. There are cases where a long Wikinews title
would mess the template on Wikipedia, so I hide the title in the
tooltip.
