I familiar enough with MediaWiki to readlize that :-)
Where do the inclusions come from, how does one schedule featured articles to appear?
Etc... I tried tracing templates but couldn't find the right ones.
User:Raul654 picks the front page feature and writes an intro text,
which ideally is the intro section of the article, and a pic and puts
them into that day's template, with about a week's worth created ahead
of time. The template is then included in the front page using a date
variable as part of the name of the template being called, which picks
up the pre-populated template for that day.
