| This is a documentation subpage for Template:FA number. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template returns the number of featured articles as recorded at Wikipedia:Featured articles. The count at Wikipedia:Featured articles is scrupulously updated and due to chronic server issues it is in general more accurate than {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Featured articles}}.
Usage
{{FA number}}= {{Wikipedia:Featured articles}}
Method for verifying accuracy
Logged-in users can use the MediaWiki API to verify the featured article count. Go to [1], type
javascript:alert(document.getElementsByTagName("cm").length)
into your browser's address bar, and press enter.
