Template talk:Featured

OoOoOoOoOhhh... Nice idea! 3D

Look out for a featured star image and a MarioWiki:Featured articles page soon. Wa _T^C_@^Y 16:49, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Ashley is a major character in the WarioWare series, first appearing in WarioWare: Touched! She is a young witch who lives in a haunted mansion in Diamond City along with her close imp friend, Red. She often takes trips outside her mansion to train in magic and is shown to be a serious, irritable person.

Could we try putting a box around it? User:Yoshi Time/sig 13:13, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

Steve doesn't want the FA to take up all the space and distract all the important links on the Main Page. I'm afraid a table would do just that. I did preview it, but it looked a bit messy. Wa _T^C_@^Y 13:37, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

Image

Feel free to mess around with the image size to see what looks better on the front page. -- Son of Suns

Hmm, I tried any comments? Xzelion^ETC

Huh... Shouldn't the featured article be K. Rool? Glowsquid

*Blink*

Didn't mean to mess up the rotation (still a couple FAs to go before SSBM), I apologize. But how are we so far behind on the rotation, anyways? Wa _T^C_@^Y 11:34, 1 January 2008 (EST)

I don't know, I think we somehow forgot about the FAs in the last days and weeks (Luigi's Mansion and SPM should have been featured earlier). That's why there are some articles waiting in the queue. Time Questions 11:42, 1 January 2008 (EST)

Spoiler Tags

Just a quick question, since we have a final boss up today: what's our policy on spoiler tags for the FA template? I'm trying to remember back from when the boss of Super Paper Mario was up. Stumpers! 12:19, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Dimentio? This article has no spoiler tags. As for Tabuu, in my opinion we certainly don't need spoiler tags in the template. I mean, if we actually considered putting them there, we should rather consider not to feature the article at all. Good question though, 'cause featuring article that are spoilers seems like a contradiction. Time Questions 12:29, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Ok, not technically a spoiler template, but here you go: Check out the history page. Stumpers! 12:35, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. I could live with such a notice. But do we actually need it? Is the fact that Tabuu is the final boss a spoiler? (I'm just asking, because I have no clue.) Time Questions 12:39, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Font

I think we should make the FA the same font as the rest of the Main Page so the Main Page looks more organized. We want our guests to have a good first impression when they see the Main Page. --Clay Mario (talk)

Featured Image

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the image in this template linking to the Featured Article rather than the image itself? What do you think? Time Questions 08:30, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

I have an idea

Lets use {{random}} so each time the page's purged it's changing to another Featured Article and we no more need to change it every week! I think it's a good idea, but I'm need to discuss it before I do so. SWFlash

Protection

Why is this template 100% protected?

"Please read: If you are going to replace the current information on the Featured template, please see here before doing that and look at which order our next FA's will be put on this page. "

"Help us maintain the page"

Who, me? Why should I care if I can't do that?

Besides, isn't it weird that the other main page templates aren't protected?

It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:08, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Moving risk

Shouldn't this template be protected for preventing page move, but still allowing editing? --NewSMBU (talk) 05:51, 19 April 2012 (EDT)

Rotation

Does the FA rotation every Saturday go by GMT time?

Shokora (talk · edits) 22:14, 21 December 2012 (EST)

Believe it's by EST time.

L151

Okay, thanks. Should it be mentioned on the template or {{UpcomingFA}} to avoid future confusion?

April Fools!

Time for April Fools Day 2014!

For April Fools Day, we need to have fake news (presumably good news that will get excitement) with links to pages that would be created, fake or bad trivia, bad poll, and a fake featured article. Please post some ideas below that can be used tomorrow! M a r i o(talkϟedits) 18:38, 31 March 2014 (EDT)

Wait

Shouldn't the current featured article on the main page be Super Mario 3D World? It looks like it got skipped to me. Ray Trace^(T|C) 18:03, 30 April 2017 (EDT)
