{{Lead articles}} is the template the UnNews Editor-in-Chief should edit. It controls the placement of graphic features of selected news stories on the Front Page, by having a variable number of calls to {{Lead article}} (singular), one for each graphic. Do not edit {{Lead article}} itself.
It's convenient to copy a working call to {{Lead article}} (from the word FEATURE to the following word FEATURE), paste it before the first feature, and adjust the fields to fit the new story being featured. If the first feature is both, do a side-by-side by making it right and making the new feature left. If there is already a side-by-side at the top, make the new one both. Also truncate the last feature(s) on the page to keep the number of features constant.
The individual graphics (individual calls to {{Lead article}}) have the following fields:
arrange— Indicates the article's layout in its row of featured articles:both(orlead) Spans the entire row and causes a horizontal line beneath.leftThe article on the left side of a pair of side-by-side articles. Code this before therightone.rightThe article on the right side of a pair of side-by-side articles. Code this after theleftone, because it causes a horizontal line beneath.
image— The image name (omitFile:). Our policy is for every graphic to include an image (even if not funny without its caption), but if you leave this blank, the null imageSpacer.gifis useddept— (optional) A legend centered above the headline. Lowercase letters become small capitals. Typical departments are:BREAKING NEWSorURGENTfor stories that either are relevant to big real-world news, or are notEXCLUSIVEfor "exclusive interviews," especially when they are exclusive because we're interviewing ourselvesPANIC in the SKIES— prized by all journalists, especially if it should have been the Happiest Day of the YearNAVEL-GAZINGfor UnNews articles that revolve around UnNewsFEATUREfor articles that are featured on the Uncyclopedia main pageORIGINALfor stories with {{Original}} instead of real sourcesEDITORIALfor stories tagged as UnNews EditorialsCOLUMNfor stories tagged as UnNews Columns
title— The page name (omitUnNews:); that is, the headlineshort_title— (optional) If the page name is too long or doesn't look like a headline, provide the desired headline here.border— If you type the CSS name of a color here (or use the hexadecimal format#rgbor#rrggbb), a border of that color is drawn around the graphic. Specifyingblackis appropriate for obituaries.summary— The first sentence or two of the story. If you can write a funnier lead by pulling stuff from throughout the story, that would be funnier.
Important notes:
- If you put vertical space between the calls to {{Lead article}}, comment them out, or space is output that throws off the relation between articles.
- If not using
border,dept, orshort_title, set it tonone. Don't remove the lines completely; that makes it harder for the next editor to see the correct form to follow.
