For Tech News, what wording would you suggest as the entry's content? You can either draft an entry here, or if you're confident on what it should say add it directly to the next draft.
Timing-wise, based on the merged-patch above I assume this should go in the upcoming edition (frozen for translations in ~18 hours, and delivered on Monday), but if that's incorrect please share a rough time-estimate for which week it should be announced. Thanks!

Something like -
Configuring automatic citations for your wiki has been simplified as you can now set a default template to use with the "_default" key (example diff). You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template. This will also future proof existing configurations when [[ T347823 | new item types ]] are added.
There is no rush on getting this out. Maybe wait til the next week in case there are unexpected issues.
