Forum:Changes to monthly main page update system

After the failure of the system to update the main page I've decided to try switching to STEU an automatic system as used by MA to update their main page. I've done that for the Template:featuredarticle so far. When next month ticks over it will automatically change to a new article without the need of someone actually doing anything. For the upcoming months I've simply used the most recent winners for that month from the archives, which means even if there isn't a new featured article for an upcoming month the main page will at least still change to show a different article.

This can be done for Template:featuredimage, quotes and even Template:DYN so that they will also automatically change when a new month comes around. The contributor of the month isn't really suitable for this system, I see two options, get rid of it entirely or keep it and be happy with the occasional nomination a year.

So are there any questions about these changes or suggestions before I continue and set it up for images, etc? – 05:45, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
