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 articleThe Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality typology developed in 1943. There are sixteen types consisting of a combination of one trait from four binary sets: introversion/extroversion (I/E), intuition/sensing (N/S), thinking/feeling (T/F), and judging/perceiving (J/P). This system is widely popular but has faced criticism from the scientific community as pseudoscience. MBTI types have attained prominence in fannish spaces alongside more whimsical fiction-based systems such as Hogwarts Houses and the Dungeons & Dragons alignment system. Typing characters and celebrities is a common activity, inspiring memes, metas, and dedicated blogs. Some acafans have conducted demographic surveys and found that introverted-intuitive MBTI types – less common in the general population – have more representation in fandom. The MBTI-inspired website 16Personalities.com has generated a fandom centered on the anthromorphized characters it uses to represent each of the types. |
