[edit] Image change

The image switch was discussed at Template talk:FACfailed. If you are able, I strongly encourage you to create a better version of the "Xed out FA star" image; the current one lacks cleanup and three-dimensionality. However, a big part of the reason the non-optimal image needs to be left up there is to get the attention of people who can make a new and improved icon for FormerFAs. Regardless, at least this one serves the basic functionality of clearly distinguishing former FAs from failed FACs, as there is a word of difference between the two. -Silence 04:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link to original article

Is there any way this template can be used to link to the version featured? If not, perhaps it could be added as an optional field. Richard001 04:59, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Added, assuming it hasn't broken anything else. Gimmetrow 05:51, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
