OoOoOoOoOhhh... Nice idea! 3D

Look out for a featured star image and a MarioWiki:Featured Articles page soon. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 16:49, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Koopa Paratroopas (also known as Para-Koopas, Sky Troopas in the original Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Koopa Flying Troopers, or commonly simply Paratroopas) are enemies introduced in Super Mario Bros. They are Koopa Troopas with a pair of wings. Koopa Paratroopa commonly appear in two varieties: Red Koopa Paratroopas usually fly up and down in a set path, while Green Koopa Paratroopas often bounce in the player's general direction or fly back and forth. Koopa Paratroopas lose their wings if stomped, turning them into regular Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas are playable in various spin-off games, most of them wearing a red shell. Their name comes from "paratrooper," a term used in the military to describe soldiers who parachute down to attack.

Could we try putting a box around it? User:Yoshi Time/sig 13:13, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

Steve doesn't want the FA to take up all the space and distract all the important links on the Main Page. I'm afraid a table would do just that. I did preview it, but it looked a bit messy. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 13:37, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

Feel free to mess around with the image size to see what looks better on the front page. -- Son of Suns

Hmm, I tried any comments? Mario riding YoshiXzelionETC

Huh... Shouldn't the featured article be K. Rool? Glowsquid

*Blink*

Didn't mean to mess up the rotation (still a couple FAs to go before SSBM), I apologize. But how are we so far behind on the rotation, anyways? Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 11:34, 1 January 2008 (EST)

I don't know, I think we somehow forgot about the FAs in the last days and weeks (Luigi's Mansion and SPM should have been featured earlier). That's why there are some articles waiting in the queue. Time Questions 11:42, 1 January 2008 (EST)

Spoiler Tags

Just a quick question, since we have a final boss up today: what's our policy on spoiler tags for the FA template? I'm trying to remember back from when the boss of Super Paper Mario was up. Stumpers! 12:19, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Dimentio? This article has no spoiler tags. As for Tabuu, in my opinion we certainly don't need spoiler tags in the template. I mean, if we actually considered putting them there, we should rather consider not to feature the article at all. Good question though, 'cause featuring article that are spoilers seems like a contradiction. Time Questions 12:29, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
Ok, not technically a spoiler template, but here you go: Check out the history page. Stumpers! 12:35, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
Thanks. I could live with such a notice. But do we actually need it? Is the fact that Tabuu is the final boss a spoiler? (I'm just asking, because I have no clue.) Time Questions 12:39, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Font

I think we should make the FA the same font as the rest of the Main Page so the Main Page looks more organized. We want our guests to have a good first impression when they see the Main Page. --Clay Mario (talk)

Featured Image

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the image in this template linking to the Featured Article rather than the image itself? What do you think? Time Questions 08:30, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

I have an idea

Lets use {{random}} so each time the page's purged it's changing to another Featured Article and we no more need to change it every week! I think it's a good idea, but I'm need to discuss it before I do so. SWFlashSWFlash.svg

Protection

Why is this template 100% protected?

"Please read: If you are going to replace the current information on the Featured template, please see here before doing that and look at which order our next FA's will be put on this page. "

"Help us maintain the page"

Who, me? Why should I care if I can't do that?

Besides, isn't it weird that the other main page templates aren't protected?

Moving risk

Shouldn't this template be protected for preventing page move, but still allowing editing? --NewSMBU (talk) 05:51, 19 April 2012 (EDT)

Rotation

Does the FA rotation every Saturday go by GMT time?

Believe it's by EST time.
