Latest revision as of 13:09, 10 June 2013
I'm creating this topic because the current {{CurrentFA}} interferes with the Topright images on the top corner of articles.
Proposal
I propose the implementation of a new, smaller, similarly-styled star image:
This could be placed in the top center of the page, the same height as the Toprights, but out of the way so that no interference could occur. It also gives it a more prominent show, helping the wiki look more professional.
Additional
I'd also like to raise the idea of a silver star, the same design as the gold one I've shown, which could be placed on previously featured articles. This would show that the article is somewhat prestigious.
Remember, this is just an idea, and any feedback would be appreciated. I'd also be open to changing the star to a popular concensus if one does arise.
Thanks for reading. 22:45, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
