This template is used to have JL-Bot generate a listing of Recognized Content, like featured articles, good articles, articles featured in the Did you know? or In the News section of the main page, and so on. For some examples, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Recognized content or Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Recognized content.

You can also use it to generate lists of Did You Know? blurbs (e.g. Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Did you know or Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/DYK).

For details on what Recognized Content is exactly and how to make the most out of it, see this Signpost article.

Output

The results will be written to same page as the template. They will be prefaced by a comment header and followed by a comment footer. This header and footer are not visible on the displayed page, but are needed to allow the bot to identify prior results.

  • header = <!-- Start of content generated by JL-Bot -->
  • footer = <!-- End of content generated by JL-Bot -->

If the bot doesn't find a valid header and footer (ex. first run), it will place the results immediately below the template. If it does find a valid header and footer (updates), it will replace the content between the header and footer with the new results.
