User talk:Cf. Hay

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Cf. Hay! I am Marek69 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! User:Marek69. 03:46, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

What went wrong
Re: this edit - let me explain what went wrong.If you write, it prints the number of featured articles:

This is because the only transcludable text on the FA page is the number itself. Template:FA number simply reproduces this functionality under a different name. So changing the FA page to reference template:FA number, which itself references the FA page, creates a circular reference. Raul654 (talk) 18:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I tought the number comes from reference counting of the tagged articles, not from that specified number. Cf. Hay (talk) 18:46, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Mediawiki, as far as I am aware, does not have that capability. And for the record, the list on the FA page is the definitive list; not the category list. Raul654 (talk) 18:48, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
