Template talk:Featured

This template

Is in dire need of an update. It looks horribly bland and outdated compared to our other templates. E-123 - Ω ナックルズ 22:58, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

It looks fine in my opinion. Go with what works. I'll get back to you on that.

Thanks,

I would update it myself, but I can't do that without an admin's permission, and even then, I'm not THAT good with the coding. I'll ask the next mod that comes online about it... E-123 - Ω ナックルズ 23:12, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I think Maverick Nate is overhauling a lot of the templates, maybe you could ask him about it? ZestyCactus 23:16, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I thought about revamping this template, but to be honest... I kinda like the fact that it's "clean" and simple. It's dignified, not colorful and flashy. Like how a featured article should look like. --electAbuzzzz 23:19, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

We don't need anything that takes up more than that much space. We already have the Pidgeot statue sprites on the featured article pages, and that's enough. R.A. Hunter Blade 23:30, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Date

This template should be updated with an option to add the date that an article was featured. I think that's important context to give. Landfish7 12:44, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Bumping this. Landfish7 09:33, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

or maybe "formerly featured" considering no featured articles are shown anymore and featured article nominations were effectively retired 12 years ago....-- 4iamking (talk) 09:41, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

also many of these articles I don't feel like hold up that well today, with many incomplete and other maintenance tags.... - unsigned comment from 4iamking (talk • contribs)

How about something like "This article is a featured article. It was featured on 9 May 2007 after being identified as one of the best articles produced on Bulbapedia." Landfish7 10:04, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
