You probably already noticed, the Featured Stories have (again) changed.
The new slider-like format has two big benefits: It's easy to edit as the slider is fed by a regular wiki table and it occupies less space then previous implementations.
It's a javascript implementation powered by jssor , the script collects its data from this table.
The table is pretty simple and consists out of four columns: Image, text, fimfiction link and a switch that is currently not used. To add a featured story, just add a row by right-clicking and copy the contents from a wiki article. There's not much to worry about.
During the next weeks, i'll try to tweak it a little.Visually as well as technically, since it still has some hickups.
Hope it makes the handling of featured stories more easy and results in people actually maintaining it.
