Template:Topic talk

Template documentationviewedithistorypurge

This works much like Template:ArticleHistory, but is designed for the Milestones of Featured and Good Topics instead of Featured Articles. As such, there are a few differences in how the template should be used in practice.

This template should only be used by genuine featured or good topics, or by former featured or good topics, as otherwise it messes up the categories. This template should not be updated to include a candidacy until after the candidacy has concluded.

Syntax

{{Topic talk

| action2       =
