{{center|Welcome to the second 2025 issue of the Space-Time Telegraph. Apologies that we're a little late, sometimes this newsletter takes us when we need to go instead of when we want to go. In this edition you'll find everything that you need to keep you updated on things going on around the project as well as within the Whoniverse.}}
{{columns-start|num=2}}
<big>'''Am I a good (or featured) <s>man</s> Wikipedia article?'''</big>
:Since last Newsletter, many new GAs have been added to the Project. These include every individual episode in ''Doctor Who'' series 15 ↗ and a number of fictional characters, including Belinda Chandra ↗, the companion of Series 15. A full list of Good promoted content can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who#Articles with Good Article status ↗. So far, we've promoted 33 GAs this year, and we're on track to beat our previous record of GAs promoted in a year (36 in 2012).
:In terms of Good Topics, Wikipedia:Featured topics/List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present) ↗ and Wikipedia:Good topics/Doctor Who series 14 ↗ were both promoted in May.
:Additionally, with the promotion of Yeti (''Doctor Who'') ↗ to FA status just this past month, the project has gotten its first FA status article in nearly a decade, with the last FA promotion being From The Doctor to my son Thomas ↗ in November 2015.
:Congratulations to all involved with these articles, and keep up the good work!
<big>'''Space-Time Telegraph Materialization Schedule'''</big>
:With uncertainty surrounding when production of the parent show will resume, newsletter editors have decided to shift the publication schedule from quarterly to triannually for the time being. This means that the next issue will be published in December, and then every April, August, and December thereafter. When the future of the series is more certain, the schedule may update once more at that time.

The Smear Campaign
Just checking what is the purpose of the redirect The Smear Campaign ↗? I don't see it mentioned at its target article, which is Skin (British band) ↗. Thanks --Jameboy (talk) 21:50, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
:It was the name members of the band that would become Skin used to preform on a 1992 novelty single: "(I Want To Be) Elected" ↗. -97GeoPrizm (talk) 03:15, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
::At Elected (song) ↗ it says "Smear Campaign" not "The Smear Campaign". I've therefore redirected The Smear Campaign ↗ back to the primary topic of Smear Campaign ↗, which has a hatnote mentioning the song. --Jameboy (talk) 12:44, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
