Template:Link FL/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 List status.

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 list 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 LinkFA in Mediawiki:Common.js recognizes this invisible span and adds a special FL class to the corresponding interwiki link. All interwiki links with FA class are given a special bullet with CSS rule in Mediawiki:Monobook.css.

(Yes, this template piggybacks on the Link FA-template and just exists as an own template in order to be easier to maintain without having to re-code maintaining bots)

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

From another language edition
Right now, this template is new, so very few other language editions have an equivalent template. So after a list 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 (once the feature becomes available):
