Template:Featured Article

This template generates the Featured Article section of the Fanlore main page. To read more about the Featured Article process in general, check out Fanlore:Featured Articles. Fanlore Policy & Admin and gardeners are responsible for maintaining featured article pages and templates.

How the template works

This template has several subpages, one per week: Fanlore:Featured Article Archives/2017: Week 27, Fanlore:Featured Article Archives/2017: Week 28, Fanlore:Featured Article Archives/2017: Week 29 and so on. Each subpage contains the initial paragraph (or two) of an article selected for featuring; that's the content that will appear on the main page.

This template checks what week of the year we're in (1-53) and picks the subpage corresponding to that week to display on the main page.

How to add content for upcoming featured pages

The tables below lists all available weekly pages for this year and next year:

Find the link to the page you want to fill in. Copy the first paragraph or two from the article text, along with any links, to this page, following the format below. Make sure not to include any infoboxes, notices, or images—just the text for the first paragraph or two and the category. Make sure to include a bolded link to the page itself.

'''[[Page title]]''' is something something. Rest of the paragraph follows.

<noinclude>[[Category:Featured Article Archives]]</noinclude>

Save the page. And that's it! The section should display correctly on the main page once the week in question starts.

What to do when a new year is about to start

Edit this page and replace all mentions of the current year in the template text with mentions of the upcoming year. Make sure to change both the links in the template below and in the table above.

If the new year won't start for a few weeks, be careful—make sure to leave the last few weeks of the current year unchanged in the template, so that it can display the last few featured articles of the year correctly. (You can always come back and change the year in those links after the start of the new year.)

The template

This week's featured article Obey Your Master by MistressAinley (2012), featuring the Third Doctor and Delgado!Master Doctor/Master is an enemyslash pairing in the Doctor Who fandom between The Doctor, the show's protagonist, and The Master, a reoccurring antagonist. The ship stems from fan reactions to The Doctor and The Master's in-universe relationship. In the show, The Doctor and The Master are presented as enemies that nonetheless retain mutual respect for each other, and once had a much more positive relationship together in the pairs' backstory, though the nature of the latter remains somewhat ambiguous, especially given the show's extensive expanded universe. Due to Doctor Who's regeneration concept, both The Doctor and The Master have separate incarnations with different personalities and gender identities. This plot element has resulted in Doctor/Master serving as an umbrella to multiple ships. Additionally, the ship spans multiple categories; initially starting with slash ships, Doctor/Master now also includes het and femslash ships. Ships in the umbrella vary in popularity, with slash being the most common. Nominate and vote for more featured articles here.
