Template:Featured Article/doc

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.

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

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 In Forever Knight fandom, a War (also known as an FK War, or Fanfic War) is a series of posts written on the FKFIC-L@LISTS.PSU.EDU mailing list in which fans fictionally interact with one another, nominally on behalf of the characters. Players join teams (called "factions"), though the actual competition is never the real point of the War, which is more about getting to know one's fellow fans. Since most of the characters in the posts are fictional versions of the players themselves, a War can be considered a sort of role playing game. The result is a type of multi-threaded round robin. Forever Knight fandom Wars are not like wars in other fandoms as they are not about fighting, or dislike, or anger. Traditionally, in Forever Knight fandom, an attack is the sincerest form of affection. Nominate and vote for more featured articles here.
