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.
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.
Example
This week's featured articleDracula is a horror novel with gothic elements written in 1897 by the Irish author Bram Stoker, told through the letters, journals and forms of correspondence, of a group of individuals and their experiences with Count Dracula. Prior to 2022, Stoker's novel itself had only a small rarelit fandom, but through Dracula Daily, had a resurgence, especially on Tumblr. The novel has been the inspiration for several dozen stage, screen, and print adaptations and is generally considered to have either established or popularized a number of the tropes common in vampire literature. Popular activities in online Dracula fandom include fanfiction, fanart and group readthroughs/liveblogging of the novel. |
