Template talk:Random Featured Article

Some Suggestions
First, why are all the templates the same as the Straw Hat crew template? There must be different colors. Seconds, when did we agree we needed a Featured Article and a Did you Know templated? We can't have a daily featured article, we need something weekly or monthly. Also it needs to fit the color scheme of the site. Then, the template is for use on the articles talk page and main page, the main for the days it is featured and the talk page after that. The homepage would be updated in a different way. ALso we have to vote for the best article. Cody2526 23:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree.
If wecan make them different colors, we should make them different colors. I'd help, but I don't know how to make templates. Or edit categories or anything like that.

Picture placholder
To make life easier to work with this table, the picture on said page has been moved to here:

When I am SURE there is nothing wrong here, I'll put it back. One-Winged Hawk 10:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

The table without the picture looks great so we just have to shrink the picture size

 * Yeah I think the problem is to do with the fixed width. I'm experimenting with that right now.  One-Winged Hawk 11:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Removing coding
Some of the coding in this picture isn't needed. I'm looking at it right now. One-Winged Hawk 11:33, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Placing the following coding here for referencing while I examine the table:


 * class="toccolours" clear: both;


 * In case I need this.One-Winged Hawk 11:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Current Table
Wow, I like the current table, it looks far better then my original table.

Now I don't want to sound like a slave-driver, soon we'll need to add upcoming articles and past articles tamplates but you don't have to do it right now.

BTW, I'm letting you know that I'm lurking around here and will be here for an long time to check on your work

Next featured article
We need to change it at the weekend I think. We have two methods of doing this:


 * 1) "Random Page" it
 * 2) Vote it.

Either way I think Monday we should put a new one up. It doesn't matter on the condition of the page featured, its a eye-catcher. Its trying to give the readers to an example of our pages and contents. Basically... Its job is to attract attention that is all really. For now though, I say we go with a couple of our better articles to start us off. Characters pages I'm thinking of. One-Winged Hawk 09:55, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * BTW can I say if we vote, I'd like to put the Pandaman page up for voting? XD One-Winged Hawk 09:56, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Snce no one voted or said otherwise.... I choose via randoming until I got the first character page. Enjoy Pin Joker for a week.  One-Winged Hawk 17:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Past featured articles
Order of featured articles:


 * Luffy

Keeping a list of how things turn up in "random page" selection. One-Winged Hawk 11:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay started to update this again.
 * Shanks

Next weeks featured article: Zeff, unless contested. One-Winged Hawk 09:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for coming into someone elses list,but:

For now its Shura,but lets just think about puting up another marine-this sunday there will be 3 featured articles between Sengoku and a possible new Marine. I was thinking of either Saul,Garp,Aokiji,Akainu or John Giant.If no one answers,ill pick what Ill decide (actualy ill do that anyway,but I just wanted to give you an ilusion of power) User:New Babylon

In Need of Updating
This hasn't been changed in awhile. I think it's due for a change. I'm willing to put The Going Merry up for voting, I think it's a good article, and it isn't just some random page. Perhaps we can just update monthly from now on. Cody2526 07:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * If you want to change it Cody, go ahead. Its meant to be changed once a week.  I kinda got lazy...


 * Hides from the flaming touches raised at her laziness*


 * I just hit "Random Page" when I changed it every week. We could do with a BOT or something to automatically select one... But Bots are more hassle then their worth sometimes.  ^-^'  82.34.192.189 19:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Shorten
One or two sentances is fine for the character in the featured article. Its just an introduction. Keep this in mind NB. ;) One-Winged Hawk 12:16, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
