Admin Forum:Coding Featured Article page (embeded in the Main Page) to rotate daily/weekly/monthly

I am an admin over at the Company of Heroes wiki. I am wanting to write some code in our Featured Articles page, so it rotates each article daily/weekly or monthly. The FA page is embedded into our Main Page, so it the FAs become boring rather quickly.

Here are the relevant links to everything you should need: Company of Heroes wiki, wiki FA page, CoH wiki user page

Any help much appreciated. Attack Rhino (Talk - Contributions) 13:15, February 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Is it rotating at all currently? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 Feb 2012 1:05 PM Pacific


 * No, not currently. If you (or someone else) could tell me a template of rotating it, I should be able to do it myself.

 * I got it rotating again, but getting it to switch daily, weekly or monthly will take a bit more thought and work.
 * If you want to force it to rotate, just add ?action=purge (or &action=purge) to the end of the URL, like: http://companyofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Company_of_Heroes_Wiki?action=purge -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 14 Feb 2012 1:11 PM Pacific


 * Okay, well thank you very much. I assume it rotates by page load or something?
 * I might keep this thread open, to wait and see if any more replies are made about date or time rotation.

 * The Fallout Wiki has templates to automatically rotate their featured article section once a day.
 * The template in-use on their main page:
