Okay, this is just to let everyone know that I am not going to be able to update this template for about a month starting around June 25th. Does anyone else want to take up the job of maintaing the featured articles?--SomeStranger (t|c) 21:08, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
- If you like, we could just automate it on an extended lineup now. You're no longer limited to just the current week.--Dehstil (t|c) 15:32, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
- We have a ton of featured articles now. Perhaps we should make the rotation monthly or somesuch, since we could easily fill it all up, and it would spare us the inconvenience of updating the rotation repeatedly. (Or as repeatedly.) Perhaps even a semi-monthly rotation would be possible. --Alpaca (T/C) 11:52, 27 August 2006 (CDT)
Thanks very much SomeStranger for adding my article to the rotation. I am confused though - can someone please explain to me the syntax of this page and add a brief summary here about how it works? It looks like it will rotate in tomorrow maybe? I appreciate it, thanks. :) --DataVortex 20:17, 22 September 2006 (CDT) Aww, I was hoping the feature would rollover today... --DataVortex 23:29, 22 September 2006 (CDT)
Switching the Rotation to Monthly
I don't really want to keep these things updated anymore so let's just set it on a monthly rotation. If someone else doesn't do it in the next few hours I will....--SomeStranger (t|c) 19:13, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
Why is the first line of this template
{{#switch:{{#expr:({{CURRENTDOW}}+{{CURRENTWEEK}}*7) mod 7}}|
I havnt checked what the mod 7 is doing to the result but for a weeks worth of rotation
{{#switch:{{CURRENTDOW}}|
is all thats needed or for a months worth
{{#switch:{{CURRENTDAY}}|
