 :Good question. The template code was developed in Wikipedia where they have a CCS class that is used to control the display of these ''topicons'' as I don't have access to the CSS code, I removed the class from the template, thus enabling it for all users. Bottom line there is no user preference to show/hide the featured article star in the FSwiki, so I have removed the reference to one from the article. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 16:25, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
+== Back to dates  ==
+In looking at Wikipedia and WikiHow we find their archive articles&nbsp;are dated. We know that we are in our infancy but we want to feature new articles much more often than we have been,&nbsp;as I looked at the the history of this archive it seems to be&nbsp; desires to go back to what was done in early April of 2010 with dates and boxed articles because there will come a time shortly when we are adding new articles much more often. Can someone help us go to that again? Much Thanks, [[User:HoleDL|Dawne]] 18:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
+:Hi Dawne, I agree, I think it is useful to show when the articles were featured on the main page. I will rework the page using the layout last used in April 2010. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 16:36, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

 :Hi Dawne, I think you already discovered the answer to your question, but for the benefit of others -- The way to add the star to an article is by using the {{tl|Featured article}} template. Do this by adding the code {{xt|<nowiki>{{Featured article}}</nowiki>}} to the bottom of an article, just before the categories. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 16:28, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

+:We'd like to feature the page view count on the archive page, not the talk page. So, how can we edit the Archive page so that more detail can be added to the daily changes in featured articles. We are tracking what the page view count was on the day the article was featured and what was the page view count on the day the article was removed from the Main page as a featured article? Since we are changing featured articles on a daily basis, the Archive page should probably be changed to a daily view of what was featured on a given day. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 15:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
+== Featured article committee ==
+Please would someone consider making one more section in the Featured Articles so the committee could be added. [[User:HoleDL|Dawne]] 14:55, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
+:Dawne, I took your comment to mean, an extra section in the FA navbox {{tl|Featured content}}. I have therefore added a new link to the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Featured Article Committee]] to that navbox. If this was a wrong interpretation, please let me know. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] ([[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]&thinsp;|&thinsp;[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]) 15:55, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
