 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This module depends on the following other modules: |
This module allows article excerpt (from Module:Excerpt) to be put into a slideshow (using Module:Random slideshow). It is intended to be used in portals.
The following templates use this module:
- {{Transclude excerpts as random slideshow}}
- {{Transclude linked excerpts as random slideshow}}
- {{Transclude list item excerpts as random slideshow}}
Tracking categories
[edit]The following categories track use where the "Selected general articles" list is built solely from templates:
- Category:Automated portals with article list built solely from one template (population: 0)
- Category:Automated portals with article list built solely from two templates (population: 0)
- Category:Automated portals with article list built solely from three templates (population: 0)
- Usages with more than three templates are not currently tracked
Pages where the "Selected general articles" list is built from a list embeded in the portal:
- Category:Automated portals with embedded list (population: 0)
Note that the Category:Automated portals with embedded list was enabled on 19 April 2019, and it will probably take a few days for all the portal pages to update
