I've noticed that in enwiki, featured articles have a {{featured-article}} tag on the top of the page. However, I haven't found any tag marking good articles (though, there is a list of good articles).
In other language editions, neither featured nor good articles have a wiki tag on top of the page, but the nice star is displayed on the top right corner of the page for featured articles, once it is processed.
Anyone knows how these special pages are identified in the database? Are there common tags to identify them in other language editions? Is that info available in the complete pages-meta-history dumps?
These are not identified in the database. The code for displaying these stars is in the {{featured article}} tag or whatever tag is used in the language under consideration instead (if you don't find it at the top, it's probably at the bottom). For en: the code is:
<div style="right:10px; display:none;" class="metadata topicon" id="featured-star"> <imagemap> Image:LinkFA-star.png|14px rect 0 0 14 14 [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|This is a featured article. Click here for more information.]] desc none </imagemap> </div>
It's the 'class="metadata topicon" ' that causes it to show where it shows. I don't know whether metadata topicon is generally defined in MediaWiki software or it is in the local monobook.css file.
