Template:Featured Article

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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.

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.

Example

This week's featured article from Bellerophon #18 (1981) In The Empire Strikes Back when Luke Skywalker discontinues his training and leaves Dagobah to confront Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi says to Yoda: "That boy is our last hope." Yoda responds, "No, there is another." The answer was revealed in the next film in the series, The Return of the Jedi, which meant fans had to wait three years to learn the identity of "The Other." This gave them plenty of time for debate and speculation. It the end, this speculation was the fun part, as George Lucas pretty much brushed off the whole thing with a few lines of dialogue.
