What went wrong[edit]

Re: this edit - let me explain what went wrong.If you write {{Wikipedia:Featured articles}}, it prints the number of featured articles:

6,498

This is because the only transcludable text on the FA page is the number itself. Template:FA number simply reproduces this functionality under a different name. So changing the FA page to reference template:FA number, which itself references the FA page, creates a circular reference. Raul654 (talk) 18:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I tought the number comes from reference counting of the tagged articles, not from that specified number. Cf. Hay (talk) 18:46, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mediawiki, as far as I am aware, does not have that capability. And for the record, the list on the FA page is the definitive list; not the category list. Raul654 (talk) 18:48, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
