Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Shortcuts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a failed proposal.
Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump.
The WP:WP shortcut also known as [[WP:]] or WP:cuts is a great tool to find relevant content in the project namespace. Actually I was looking for a "featured template" feature, but I only found "featured lists", and Wikipedia:Shortcuts is certainly a list... ;-) Omniplex 08:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- This is a worse self-ref than the list of mathematical lists - I would say it is not eligible. Can you imagine a featured article from the Wikipedia namespace? -- ALoan (Talk) 09:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- Sure, as I said I was looking for a "featured template" section. The meta-work making the encyclopedic work possible is important, unlike obscure lists or portals. Omniplex 21:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- Strong oppose. How is this "Wikipedia's best work" in terms of encyclopedic content? How would a person who's not interested in editing Wikipedia find this useful? -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 11:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- Oppose It's useful for sure, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and this is just a bunch of technical stuff external to it. AlbinoMonkey (Talk) 12:09, 11 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- Oppose as above. Its not that special either. --Jared [T] /[+] 22:53, 11 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- Oppose, not exactly featured list content. Phoenix 2 00:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- Oppose, and suggest removal per WP:SNOW and WP:UCS. This is not what WP:FL is meant for. —Nightst a llion (?) 20:18, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- Its purpose (only for the article namespace) was obviously unclear for me. Omniplex 21:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- Mh, okay; now you know, though. Featured *REGEXP* is just for things in the article/image/portal namespace. —Nightst a llion (?) 10:23, 16 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- Mmm - do we actually have an article namespace, let alone a list one? -- ALoan (Talk) 10:58, 16 March 2006 (UTC) reply
- I thought everything which is not in any other namespace was generally considered to be in the article/main namespace...? —Nightst a llion (?) 12:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Help:Namespace says (main), but in shortcuts WP:FAC, WP:AFD, etc. the A stands for article. Technically most lists are ordinary articles. Omniplex 12:42, 16 March 2006 (UTC) reply
