Layout guidelines:

• Newest item goes on the top; older items are removed from the bottom.
• The entry must have a bolded link to an internal article UPDATED with the current event.

In the news mentions and links to entries of timely interest—that is, encyclopedia articles that have been updated to reflect an important current event, rather than conventional news items. To prevent vandalism on the Main Page, it is a permanently protected template.
