News section dead?

The news section is empty. It appears that in the past, most of its content came from the WMF blog via User:SteinsplitterBot/Feedparser/mwblog-commons - which 1) has been empty since may and 2) has seen close to no updates since at least 2020. It's not a technical issue, there just haven't been any Commons-related posts on the blog for a while.

Since the @wikicommons Twitter account has been inactive since 2020, there's really not much use for the news section as it is right now. Can we somehow fill the gap or should we maybe just remove it? El Grafo (talk) 08:38, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Just realizing that this was noted by @LukeSurl in this archived 2021 thread. If there are no objections, I'll try to remember and just remove the section in c couple of days. (@Steinsplitter: FYI) El Grafo (talk) 08:44, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Done. Unforunately, that increased the already existing unnecessary gap between "Communications" and "Content organization". Can't figure out where that comes from in the first place right now - any ideas? El Grafo (talk) 07:41, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
