I fixed the HTML so that it appears correctly on non-IE browsers like Mozilla Firefox (using min-height: 60px; in the CSS). I also reworded the text to get rid of ugly whitespace (and I think the new text is better anyway; it wasn't that clear what the "that page" in the old text referred to). --Redquark 20:58, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

FAC#Page or FAC/Page

I believe that the correct syntax is FAC/Page, not FAC#Page - at least if it is supposed to fit current 'Procedure for adding nominations' from FAC page, especially steps 2 and 3. I am rv FAC#Page to FAC/Page, since I cant find the explanation for # change and new guide to adding nominations. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 11:06, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

1. Place {{fac}} on the talk page of the nominated article. 2. From there, click on the "featured article candidate" link. 3. Place ===[name of nominated article]=== at the top.

FAC2

I created {{FAC2}} to put the image next to an article link, like {{FA}}. Example: {{FAC2}} Megatokyo. ~ Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 21:36, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

two delegates promotes

I'm a bit concerned with the following phrase: "After the FAC director or one of his two delegates promotes the article..." Linking "two" to Karanacs and "delegates" to SandyGeorgia is cute and clever and all that, but they're somewhat misleading. The fact that the entire phrase "two delegates promotes" is blue would probably lead newer users to believe that clicking anywhere in that phrase will navigate to some page explaining who the delegates are and how they determine when to promote articles. WP:EGG explains that links should be intuitive. This is not the case for this template. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 14:06, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. I unlinked them both, but one possible link for them could be to Template:FAC-instructions, which at least mentions them both—I don't know if any other page does that. Gary King (talk) 15:19, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

"Not"

Anyone who has not significantly contributed to or nominated this article may initiate a nomination.

Emphasis is mine. Is this correct? Noms should be significant contributors, no? czar 17:28, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
