Template:Featuredtopictalk/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This works much like Template:ArticleHistory, but is designed for the Milestones of Featured Topics instead of Featured Articles. As such, there are a few differences in how the template should be used in practice.

This template should only be used by genuine featured topics or former featured topics, as otherwise it messes up the categories. This template should not be updated to include a candidacy until after the candidacy has concluded.
