jayvdb added a comment. I used the following google query to find sites which might be using this: intitle:"link fa" intitle:template -wikipedia -wikisource -incubator -gerrit That wont find non-English use of the feature, and it wont find cases where users have modified `featured.py` to work with a different template name. There are several hits where the template exists, but it doesnt appear to be used, like http://en.wikishia.net.
I manually checked WOWwiki page source, and `MediaWiki:Common.js`, and it doesnt highlight featured pages in other languages. Some of the Wookiepedia/Starwars wikis do have a similar functionality, but it doesnt appear to be powered by a template currently supported by `featured.py`. Wikia Starwars are using a new template http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Interlang . German Starwars is using a different system. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Bane / http://www.jedipedia.net/wiki/Darth_Bane . I am not sure how this is working on jedipedia.net , as the raw HTML contains the GA/FA classes on the links, so it looks like some extension is doing it but I dont see any relevant extension on http://www.jedipedia.net/wiki/Spezial:Version . IMO this is worth exploring, because if there is another extension that provides this functionality (easier than Wikibase), we have an even greater justification for decommissioning `featured.py`. I think moving "lesser used"/unmaintained scripts into a subdirectory like `scripts/archive` makes sense. It would still need to automatically be runnable using `pwb.py featured`, and `tests/script_tests.py` would need to also find and test it so that it doesnt break in an obvious manner. If we are going to move/remove featured.py, the mailing list should be notified.
