Template:Link FA/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Link FA. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is designed to replace the classical list-item marker of an interlanguage link (square) by a gold star () to indicate that the article of this Wikipedia’s language edition was promoted to the Featured Article status (for more details about these articles and the criteria associated to their status, see Wikipedia:Featured articles in other languages).
Usage
To use this template, add {{Link FA|xx}}, where xx is the language code of the Wikipedia on which it has been featured. This template does not replace the classical interwiki; you have to use them both to get an interlanguage link with a gold star.
Example
Suppose Flimble is a featured article on the German Wikipedia. Then before the list of interlanguage links (), simply add {{Link FA|de}} in the wikitext. If you're using the Monobook skin, the star will appear next to the de: link, just like the link to the Afrikaans version of this template.
Mechanism
It works by creating an invisible span with id="interwiki-lang-fa"
where lang is a specific language code. Function LinkFA()
in Mediawiki:Common.js recognizes this invisible span and adds a special FA
class to the corresponding interwiki link. All interwiki links with FA
class are given a special bullet with CSS rule in Mediawiki:Monobook.css.
- this template;
- the
LinkFA()
function in Mediawiki:Common.js; - the
li.FA
code block in Mediawiki:Monobook.css; - the image (only for non-Wikimedia wikis).
From another language edition
Many other language editions also have their equivalent template. So after an article has become featured on the English Wikipedia, you can add a starred link in the other language projects by using these tags in the respective wikis:
