To anyone wondering how a topic with only 3/13 articles featured is a "featured topic"- it's not. It's a Good Topic, as less than 50% of the articles are featured. --Pres N 01:45, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, fixed. I was just too bleary-eyed when doing this page to realise I'd chosen the wrong one, which had already been mistakenly omitted last week. I must say, I just cannot work out how to tell featured from good topics in the templates on the nomination page: what confused me was the bronze star against the top-billed article. An associated issue is that no distinction is made between the component featured and good articles and featured and good lists; they're all treated as FAs. What's the secret to both?

Well, like what PresN said, if a topic has articles that are 50% featured, its a featured topic. Less than 50%, it a good topic. Probably be a good idea to look at the talk page to really see if its good or featured. GamerPro64 16:08, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page requires a huge amount of hum-drum work each week. I'm putting in a request that closers specify whether a new FT is featured or good, so I don't have to use a calculator on each template. This job needs to be as streamlined as possible. :-) Tony (talk) 16:12, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Am I the only one to find it ironic that Sarek, right after being re-confirmed, has been blocked by another admin? --Orange Mike | Talk 17:14, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, it certainly raised my eyebrow.. -- œ ^™ 12:57, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
