→ Set header update |
- Hi, I was wondering what people thought about having an additional section in Template:Set header for if the article is a featured article or good article (although the good article scheme hasn't been set up yet). I've created a test here, with a sample here (the before and after numbers do not show here, but this is because the page doesn't start with a number, and the template still functions perfectly fine.) The difference is the "awards" section where fa or ga can be typed in to replace the standard LEGO logo. Just wanted to know if anyone has comments as to whether this should be implemented or any comments in general about improvments, etc? Thanks, NightblazeSaber 04:14, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

- I think that that looks pretty good. I don't know too much about all that, but I like the idea. 06:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- Looks good. :D What I really like is the fact that the template doesn't need the "award=" section in every case. I actually intended to include the possibility for such a rating system when the template was still in development (User:LegOtaku/Experiments#Possible_Extensions) but dropped it because we didn't have "Good Articles" back then. I'm still not sure how to deal with non-Set articles though. Maybe we should but the logo in the same line as the pagetitle, as in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Board_of_Trade_Building , the star is in the top right corner) But I don't know how to do this. --LegOtaku (talk) 08:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- True- when I first did this, I forgot that the template was only used in set articles :) {{FApast}} is an attempt to have a featured article star in the title, however dismissing the sitenotice makes the star go much higher than it should be, so I can't figure out how to get it working well.

- Since set articles are substantially different from other articles that are about "proper" topics (they are mostly shorter and sometimes seem more like short database entries, an article about a set may be still short although it's complete because there's nothing special to write about it), we should apply different standards to set articles than to other topics. Perhaps we should have "Featured articles" on one side and "Featured sets" on the other side. Just like other wikis have featured pictures, quotes of the day and the likes. That way, set articles could have an independent rating system that goes in the set header. Maybe we could also add a stub logo for set articles that consist only of an infobox without description or other text. The "good set" logo may be added if the article is complete (introduction plus detailed description) and "featured set" status could be awarded if offers an exceptionally high level of information. --LegOtaku (talk) 10:06, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
