Template talk:TFAfooter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:TFAfooter is permanently protected from editing, as it is a heavily used or visible template.

Substantial changes should be proposed here, and made by administrators if the proposal is uncontroversial, or has been discussed and is supported by consensus. Use {{editprotected}} to attract the attention of an administrator in such cases.
This template does not have a documentation subpage. If the template page contains categories, interwiki links or usage notes, move these to Template:TFAfooter/doc. If the template does not require documentation, add |doc=no to this template ({{permprot}}).

A user has proposed that featured articles should contain the little orange box indicating an RSS feed. I'm not sure this is a good idea. See Wikipedia:General complaints#RSS Feed for Featured Articles. Bovlb 14:41:42, 2005-08-16 (UTC)

[edit] error w/ email?

What's up with the edir link for the email? Error? or is it on a transitional stage? It's very visual (Main Page), so action might be required quickly. -- WB 20:30, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] FA number

{{editprotected}}

Why not adding the {{FA number}} to this template? 16@r (talk) 01:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

N Not done Because it would be a security risk to transclude a semi-protected, rather than fully-protected, template onto the main page. The semiprotection allows users to update the number; the number would likely get out of date if full protection were used. --ais523 10:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
If this template is included on the main page, it shoud indeed be fully protected. And then I don't think it's a problem if it can be updated only by admins. Since the main page has a high-visibility, there is no chance for this to stay out-dated for more than a few minutes. So please give it a chance. 16@r (talk) 12:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
N Not done - ais523's reasons are good, and what would the number really add to the page? If we are going to change this, there should at least be wider discussion. Nihiltres{t.l} 19:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
