This module allows article excerpt (from Module:Excerpt) to be put into a slideshow (using Module:Random slideshow). It is intended to be used in portals.

The following templates use this module:

Tracking categories ਸੋਧੋ

The following categories track use where the "Selected general articles" list is built solely from templates:

Pages where the "Selected general articles" list is built from a list embeded in the portal:

Purge this page to update the totals.


Note that the Category:Automated portals with embedded list was enabled on 19 April 2019, and it will probably take a few days for all the portal pages to update

Testcases ਸੋਧੋ

The following testcase pages are available for testing changes made to this module's sandbox:
