Hi Haifeng, Re : A more general question is: where to find information about policy changes, e.g., article creation, in Wikipedia?
The Wikipedia Signpost usually covers major policy changes like this one (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost) As Kerry pointed out though, more subtle policy changes happen without much publicity. If changes are contentious enough, they might appear in an RfC or The Village Pump, so those are some other areas to look.
