Template:Class update
I'm working towards upgrading {{class}} to use Lua and a JSON definition file. Not least because this affects ~17% of all pages, I would appreciate input and/or review at Template talk:Class#Move to Lua/JSON version. Please respond there, or ping me if you respond here. {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 17:36, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
Examples
We should update the example articles, as some of them aren't even the same status as they were (Like Crescent Falls). Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk | contribs) 19:10, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- The list has permalinks, not links to the cuuent version; and the point of using permalinks is to show the articles in the condition that they were in at the time of the assessment. This way we don't have to keep updating the list. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:32, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

New article. Looking for review.
Hello everyone, I just joined the project. I've been working on author article: Francisco Tario and I was looking for opinions on what to improve. DemianStratford (talk) 21:07, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
Are the selectors of FA massive Taylor Swift fans?
Give there are 6 million articles on English WP, how do we end up with yet another Taylor Swift song as the Featured Article on the home page of Wikipedia? GimliDotNet (talk) 04:49, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- @GimliDotNet: the short answer is that first of all, editors who are passionate about writing articles about Taylor Swift take the time to improve those articles and then nominate them at WP:FAC for promotion as featured articles against a strict set of criteria (WP:WIAFA). Per WP:FA, currently "there are 6,156 featured articles out of 6,560,549 articles on the English Wikipedia (about 0.09% or one out of every 1,060 articles)." WP:TFA draws from the pool of featured articles for its daily scheduling, not from the full corpus of articles, and every FA will typically expect to run at least once as the TFA at some point; they are eligible to run again a few years after a first appearance or for other special reasons. The coordinators do a good job of intentionally spacing out topics proportionally to their prevalence in the FA pool, but they may only choose topics from that smaller pool of articles.
- The answer to the implied question is that if you'd like to see other topics appear as the TFA, we encourage you to improve the articles and nominate them at FAC. Once promoted, your favorite topic could then appear as Today's Featured Article on the Wikipedia Main Page. Imzadi 1979 → 05:13, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- As above. The subject group that I seem to see come up often are the articles on U.S. commemorative half-dollar coins (something like 40 of which are FAs). Category:FA-Class American currency articles suggests that other values are available. This means that the numismatists have quality writers with access to good sourcing. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:40, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Actually, it just takes one. Other things the "FA selectors" aren't massive fans of are hurricanes, battleships, and English football. Johnbod (talk) 15:45, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
