Template talk:Featured

Is there a way of merging the function at Template:Featured article with this template? -- Sine 14:17, 3 May 2013 (EDT)

I'm not aware of a way to have a template that acts on two pages at once. Wikipedia does not appear to have found a better solution (though their equivalent of this is part of a more general history of article status template). --GreenReaper^(talk) 14:26, 3 May 2013 (EDT)

Including date

I'm hoping there is some way (preferably automated) of adding the date as to when the article was marked featured. Perhaps "featured article in Month Year"? -- Sine 17:41, 12 July 2013 (EDT)

We could certainly add that information as variables to be handed to the template for display; I don't know of a way to do it based on, say, the time the template was added because I don't think it has that information recorded (at least, not in a way that could be retrieved by the template). --GreenReaper^(talk) 18:33, 12 July 2013 (EDT)

I'm quite happy to put the dates in manually once there's a method set up. If we could do something similar with Template:FAC also... -- Sine 19:56, 12 July 2013 (EDT)
