Not really. The idea of a "featured article" is fairly specific to
Wikimedia's goals, and doesn't particularly belong in the software as
a special case. Templates and categories exist specifically to allow
this kind of flexibility to be implemented *without* developer
intervention.
Ok, I see this cannot be generalized to the rest of language editions. It would be nice to
identify common patterns for quality, but I realize that the decision should be taken by
each community of users...
If you want a list of featured articles, you can easily
get it by joining the page table to the categorylinks or templatelinks
table.
Categories won't help. For example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Mint
Is a feature article and it is not categorized as such.
I'll explore using template links.
That this isn't standardized across projects is something for
the projects to deal with among themselves if it's viewed as an issue.
(Standards for good/featured status are pretty disparate anyway
between the projects, I suspect.)
Yes, I've searched a little bit about that. There are many differences... And, of
course, it has a inherent subjective component.
Thanks.
Felipe.
