Template:Link FA/doc

This template is designed to replace the classical list-item marker of an interlanguage link (square) by a gold star in order to indicate 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 Featured articles in other languages).

Usage
To use this template, add, where xx is the language code of the Wikipedia on which it has been featured. This template doesn't 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 ( Flimble ), simply add in the wikitext. If you're using the monobook skin, the star will appear next to the de: link.

Mechanism
It works by creating an invisible span with  where lang is a specific language code. Function  in Mediawiki:Common.js recognizes this invisible span and adds a special   class to the corresponding interwiki link. All interwiki links with  class are given a special bullet  with CSS rule in Mediawiki:Monobook.css.

The star is displayed only if the skin used is MonoBook (default).


 * 1) this template;
 * 2) the   function in Mediawiki:Common.js;
 * 3) the   code block in Mediawiki:Monobook.css;
 * 4) 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:

This cute trick was shamelessly stolen from the French Wikipedia; it is also used on the Italian wikipedia.
