Template:Featured article/doc

From Bestiary of the Hypogriph

The Featured article template selects a featured article summary for presentation on the Bestiary of the Golden Hypogriph Wiki Main Page. The template is invoked with:

{{Featured article}}

The template selects from the list of featured article summary templates listed below. These are selected according to the day of the year, dividing up the year by the number of featured articles using this formula:

ceil(FAs *  DoY366)      
where FAs is the number of articles in Template:Featured article/ and
DoY is the day of the year (from 1-366 for leap years)

If you want to display a particular featured article summary, just add its number after a slash:

{{Featured article/7}}
will display the summary for article number 7.
