IMO, this template is downright ugly. It – and the PotD templates – should be canged to have a more æsthetic layout, like e.g. de:Vorlage:Exzellentes_Bild. Simple, yet much more elegant than this. Jon Harald Søby 12:26, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
FP on other wikis?
[edit]Is there a version of this that can be used for pictures that are FP on other wikis? If not, could this one have a parameter added so that it can be used to say which wiki the image is featured on? Eg:
|
This is a featured picture, which means that members of the community have identified it as one of the finest images on {{XYZ wiki}}, adding significantly to its accompanying article. If you have a different image of similar quality, be sure to upload it using the proper free license tag, add it to a relevant article, and nominate it. |

Link to nomination
[edit]Hi. I would try but am not sure. Can you make the "nomination" link for Image:Raccoon (Procyon lotor) 2.jpg go to Commons:Featured pictures candidates/Image:Raccoon (Procyon lotor) 2.jpg? Thank you. -Susanlesch 18:19, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Add star to top right
[edit]Would it be a good idea to use this template to add a 'featured' star to the top right, in a similar way to how the English wikipedia featured pictures are (eg en:Image:Mulberry_Street_NYC_c1900_LOC_3g04637u_edit.jpg). It's not that important, but i think it makes it clearer immediately that it is featured rather than scrolling through to the templates section. (The same could also be done for Quality images too.) I have made a sample at User:Chris_huh/FPStar - Chris_huhtalk 17:57, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Which one's better?

Parameter
[edit]Someone who knows how these parameters work (I refuse to dwelve that deep into the madness) should add another parameter for a full nomination page. Older nominations were under "Commons:Featured pictures candidates/" so the current subpage parameter is useless. --Dori - Talk 22:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- It should be working now without parameter. But it probably takes some time with the cache. I've seen it working in a view examples immediately, but in others that I recently had opened I only see it in the preview. -- Cecil 02:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Not working here (or other recent FPs that I looked at), I even edited the page. --Dori - Talk 03:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Stupid brackets. Now it should. -- Cecil 06:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yep it works, thanks! It's been an annoyance of mine for a while. --Dori - Talk 14:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn’t we just replace this template with
{{Assessments|com=1}}
? That template is autotranslated (and more general). --Mormegil (talk) 09:08, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- No! There are serious reservation about that template. See discussions on its talk page. --Tony Wills (talk) 04:18, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
