Forum:How to get a "Featured Article" etc on the front?

How can I add a "Featured Article", "Featured picture of the day", and "Today in History" templates on the front of my wiki? AJona1992 00:29, April 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * The easiest way is to embed a subpage or template onto the page that is specifically for Features, and the most common way I've seen it done. As an example, check out the Avatar Wiki, they have both a featured article and a featured image on their main page and are both done via templates: Avatar Wiki:Featured Article and Avatar Wiki:Featured Image. -- 00:53, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

It requires little coding for something simple but for featured articles on the main pages that are complicated such as this: here, it would require lot of coding. I recommend using this code to start off with:

 Featured _____ 

which would give you this:

 Featured _____ 

so if you want a featured article, you could have:

 Featured Article 

then in, if you want more than 1 featured article, you would use and. Put at the top of the page then at the start of an article that you want to feature (only put this in the template!) at the end of each option, use the close tag and at the end of the whole page

Hope I helped!
