Note:Pages within Wikipedia's Main page space will require development for the random generation of TAFI entries to occur. The Random component appears to not be transferable between namespaces via transclusion (e.g. transcluded from Template namespace to Main namespace). For examples of pages that appear likely to need re-creation within the Main page space, see Template:TAFI Main page, Template:TAFI Main page/box-header, Template:TAFI Main page/Main page queue/1 through Template:TAFI Main page/Main page queue/7 and Template:Random component main namespace for the code that needs to be existent as a separate page in Main page space, from which the (e.g.) {{Random component Main page|max=7|header=|subpage=Main page queue}} reads from via transclusion.

Jane Austen by her sister Cassandra

The reception history of Jane Austen follows a path from modest fame to wild popularity; her novels are both the subject of intense scholarly study and the centre of a diverse fan culture. Austen, the author of such works as Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Emma (1815), is one of the best-known and widely read novelists in the English language. During her lifetime, Austen's novels brought her little personal fame; like many women writers, she published anonymously. At the time they were published, her works were considered fashionable by members of high society but received few positive reviews. By the mid-19th century, her novels were admired by members of the literary elite, but it was not until the 1940s that Austen was widely accepted in academia as a "great English novelist". The second half of the 20th century saw a proliferation of scholarship exploring artistic, ideological and historical aspects of her works. As of the early 21st century, Austen fandom supports an industry of printed sequels and prequels as well as television and film adaptations, which started with the 1940 Pride and Prejudice and includes the 2004 Bollywood-style production Bride and Prejudice.

European spruce bark beetle

The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus), is a species of bark beetle in the true weevil family, Curculionidae. It is found in Europe and Asia Minor and east to China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea. Bark beetles are so named because they reproduce in the inner bark, living and dead phloem tissues, of trees. Their preferred trees in which to reside include spruces, firs, pines and larches. The species has the ability to spread quickly over large areas and some scientists hypothesize that long-distance movements originating from the Iberian Peninsula may have contributed to its invasion of northern Norway spruce forests. This female European spruce bark beetle was photographed in Naninne in the province of Namur, Belgium.
