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 article ACE DAY (Apr 2021) by EggyDaxy, featuring SpongeBob SquarePants from the cartoon of the same name, Todd Chavez from BoJack Horseman, and Kyle Broflovski from South Park. Asexuality is an umbrella term that encompasses both people who do not experience sexual attraction, as well as those who feel little attraction, or attraction conditioned to some factor. In fanworks, an asexual or "ace" character usually does not display much or any interest in sexual sensations. A related term is an aromantic or "aro" character, who usually does not display much or any interest in romance. While fanworks featuring asexual and/or aromantic characters are common in some fandoms, they are very rare in others. There are many ace fans who create fics, fanart, and meta that portray ace characters. Ace fandom communities congregate anywhere there are fans, across all fandoms. Ace fans also put together communities, fic exchanges, and fests focused on ace characters and portrayals. Some asexual fans prefer gen or queerplatonic fic, while others enjoy or prefer shipping fic. Nominate and vote for more featured articles here.
