Portal:English football/Selected article

The Selected article box on the portal chooses one of the following at random when displaying the page. Follow the instructions below for adding or nominating a new article to the list.

Usage
Football related Featured articles can be added directly to this list without nomination. All other articles should be nominated first to ensure that we only display our best work on the portal. The procedure for nomination is at the bottom of this page.

Template
Note that the prefix Image: is not required when using this template, also - the template will auto-wikilink the article entered in the link= field. Further information on this template can be found at Portal:English football/Selected article/Layout.

To add a new article

 * 1) Click on the next successive empty entry or red link from this page.
 * 2) Paste the above layout template if it isn't already there.
 * 3) Write three or four paragraphs in the text field using information from the selected notable FA article, you may find it useful to examine the existing entries for an idea of the length required.
 * 4) Ensure the main title of the article is in bold and add this same article to the link field.
 * 5) Add a free image and caption.
 * 6) Preview the page, check that the image size is correct. If the image is too big, add 100px to the size field.
 * 7) Save the page.
 * 8) Go to the main Portal:English football page.
 * 9) Click on edit page.
 * 10) Update "max=" to its new total for the Random portal component on the main page. The line which is edited is this one: Make sure that "max=" is the same numerical value as the article entry added above (i.e. if you added article 43, then max=43)
