Discussion[edit]

This software seems broken. https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Die_letzte_Generation&diff=prev&oldid=102292785 uses the wrong template for it:. Josh Parris 08:21, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why should that be wrong? {{Link_GA}} is the valid template for "good article" whereas {{Link_FA}} means "featured articles". @xqt 18:18, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
