Revision as of 01:19, 16 January 2007

This template combines all the featured article-related templates into one, to reduce clutter on talk pages, and make it less confusing when an article has had multiple FACs, FARs or been demoted and repromoted etc.

The parameter currentstatus controls what text appears at the top of the box, a set of parameters of the form |action1= |action1date=|action1link=|action1result= produces a row in the history section at the bottom of the box.

Syntax

{{FeaturedArticleHistory
|action1=
|action1date=
|action1link=
|action1result=
|action2=
|action2date=
|action2link=
|action2result=
...
|currentstatus=
|maindate=
|small=
|oldid=
}}

action1 can take values FAC (Featured Article Candidate) or FAR (Featured Article Review). (It can also take the values BP (Brilliant Prose) and RBP (Refreshing of Brilliant Prose) for articles which were first featured before the current Featured Article system)
action1date is the date the article was listed at FAC or FAR
action1link is the name of the subpage at FAC or FAR
action1result is the result of the FAC or FAR, and can take values promoted/failed for FAC, kept/demoted for FAR (and RBP) and nominated for BP. (Some synonyms for these are also accepted to make the template more fault-tolerant; view the source of {{fahistoryoutput}} for more details.)

action2 up to action6 allow for subsequent FAC/FAR

currentstatus can take values FAC (Featured Article Candidate), FA (Featured Article), FFAC (Former Featured Article Candidate), FAR (Featured Article Review), FFA (Former Featured Article)
maindate is the date the article was (or will be) featured on the Main Page, if any. Can accept all date formats
oldid (optional) is the revision id of the (most recent) version which was approved as FA. If not given, the link just points to the article history
small=yes makes the box smaller

Example

For Hubble Space Telescope

{{FeaturedArticleHistory
|action1=FAC
|action1date=December 12, 2003
|action1link=Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Hubble Space Telescope/old
|action1result=Promoted
|maindate=March 2, 2004
|action2=FAR
|action2date=April 24, 2005
|action2link=Misplaced Pages:Featured article removal candidates/Hubble Space Telescope
|action2result=Demoted
|action3=FAC
|action3date=June 24, 2005
|action3link=Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Hubble Space Telescope
|action3result=Promoted
|currentstatus=FA
}}

This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
