Hi, I'm trying to add a link to the Wiki-navigation bar on F1 wiki which would allow a user to nominate the currently viewed article for Featured Article status. I was thinking along the lines of this kind of link:

[?action=edit&preload=Template:FANOM Nominate for Featured Article]

I've managed to get this to work for buttons on the actual page, but when I put it in wiki-navigation, it automatically renders the as Wiki-navigation, and adds that to the Featured article category instead of the page. Is there a way to do this via wiki-navigation, or will I have to find another way. This is a list of links involved in the process:


 * w:c:f1:User:MTracey1/sandbox0 - The test button on my sandbox
 * w:c:f1:Template:FANOM - The preload Template
 * w:c:f1:Template:Featured Article Nomination - The categorising template, similar to the ForumHeader template
 * w:c:f1:The Formula 1 Wiki:Nominations for Featured Article - The output page
 * w:c:f1:MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation - Curretly showing my unsuccessful attempt.

Thanks in advance
