Template-protected edit request on 5 May 2021

This edit request to Module:Article history/config has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Replace “elseif status == 'FFA/GA' or status == 'GA' then” with “elseif status == 'FFA/GA' or status == 'FFAC/GA' or status == 'GA' then“. As it can be seen for example on Talk:Kids See Ghosts (album) these articles are categorized in Category:Unassessed Featured topics articles, but they should be in Category:GA-Class Featured topics articles.

Excess emphasis

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please remove the confusing and inappropriate italics from "identified" (such as is found in "Reception history of Jane Austen is a featured article; it (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Misplaced Pages community.") The word already links to the GA/FA record for the page in question, so it is already emphasized by being a link. I would just go do it, but I don't know these templates and modules well and am not sure where that text and its markup live.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  07:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

More specific "community" linking

For "Misplaced Pages community" (such as is found in "Reception history of Jane Austen is a featured article; it (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Misplaced Pages community."), it would probably make more sense to link to the process page (GAN, FAC, etc.) for the process in question, so people new to nomination procedures can find them faster. It will also be more accurate, in that these decisions are made entirely via those community-subset processes, not by a broad community vote.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  07:59, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

I'd be wary of introducing too many links (to that end, not sure Misplaced Pages community should be linked). "Featured article" is already linked, and I guess if they want to read more about the process and its selection criteria there's always links on that page. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 11:19, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Agreed; if the bullet point is regarding the article and GA/FA/etc, then the links given should be to the FA/GA/etc criteria and to the nomination page and nothing else (i.e. cull the "community" link). Primefac (talk) 11:53, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

|collapse= parameter

In 2012 Lexein requested a collapse= parameter, and in 2019 czar seconded the requested. To the extent someone is willing able able to edit the template accordingly, I would like to add my voice to the chorus. Currently the template autocollapses if there are three or more article milestones (e.g., at Talk:Martin Rundkvist), and it would be nice to have the option to keep this from happening. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 08:07, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: I've added this to Module:Article history/sandbox, along with some test cases at Template:Article history/testcases#Collapse argument. Is this what you had in mind? @Kanashimi, Hawkeye7, and Shubinator: Would this cause any issues with the bots? (I'm guessing it won't, but pinging just in case.) — Mr. Stradivarius 10:10, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

It seems no problem for this parameter. Kanashimi (talk) 10:29, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Mr. Stradivarius. From what I can tell that looks perfect. --Usernameunique (talk) 16:57, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

It will not cause any problems for the FACBot or MilHistBot. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:17, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks all. I've added the |collapse= parameter code to the main template. Let me know if you see any problems. — Mr. Stradivarius 06:49, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Mr. Stradivarius—tried it out on the Rundkvist talk page, and it works perfectly. Also pinging Lexein and czar to give them a heads up. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:52, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Adding URFA to article milestones

@Hawkeye7, Sdkb, Mathglot, SD0001, Headbomb, Shubinator, and Anomie: Sorry for the indiscriminate list, but I am really unsure who to ping here, and probably need feedback from all of you. I had hoped to wait for more consensus to develop, but Hawkeye was already pinged, so I wanted to bring in all of you.

WP:URFA/2020 was started to help sort through the older FAs that don't need to be sent to WP:FAR, while also providing a means of locating the most deficient that do need to be sent to FAR. So, we end up with some FAs defeatured or kept via FAR (which FACbot already processes into articlehistory), with others "marked satisfactory" (don't need FAR) based on at least three reviewers at URFA/2020.

There is a proposal to add URFA to the article history template. Please have a look at the general discussion at Misplaced Pages:Village pump (idea lab)#URFA addition to article milestones, and the more specific detail and questions at Misplaced Pages:Village pump (idea lab)#If we were to ask. Also, please ping anyone who might be helpful, as I really don't know who all to ask. I would hope to hold an RFC before moving forward on the idea, but need to know how to design the new entry.
