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)
Final logo for Super Mario Run

Super Mario Run is an automatic runner platformer game for mobile devices. In 2020, it was recognized as the nineteenth entry in the Super Mario series. On Mario Portal, it is recognized as the twentieth. In the game, Mario is constantly moving to the right and he will jump when the player taps the screen. The game features four modes: World Tour, the main game mode where players go through 6 different worlds to rescue Princess Peach; Toad Rally, a battle mode where players can compete against another player's run to recruit Toads; Kingdom Builder, where players can customize their own kingdom with different objects; and Remix 10, where the player has to play through series of 10 short courses as part of a quest to rescue Princess Daisy. Nintendo markets the game as the first Super Mario title that can be played with one hand. This game was developed with the Unity game engine. It is the second mobile application developed and published by Nintendo (following Miitomo), and the first Super Mario mobile game.

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.

Okay, thanks. Should it be mentioned on the template or {{UpcomingFA}} to avoid future confusion?
