Proposal to rename featured article templates
At the moment, there are 3 similar-sounding templates that do 3 very different things: Template:Feature (which contains the introduction of the current featured article and is used on the main page), Template:Featured article (a currently unused template that randomly selects an article to feature), and Template:Featured (which is the box at the top/bottom of featured articles). When searching for featured article templates, this is very confusing. I think these templates should be renamed to reduce this confusion. Template:Feature should become Template:Featured article (static), Template:Featured article should become Template:Featured article (random), and Template:Featured should become Template:Featured article notice. Redirects with the old names should remain for all of these to not break past versions of pages or require changing all the past featured articles. What do you think of this proposal? &mdash; Soprano(talk) 22:35, June 19, 2021 (EDT)
 * I agree that legibility matters, though almost nobody accesses these pages. Maybe some less verbose names? &mdash; {EspyoT} 15:07, June 22, 2021 (EDT)
 * Because renaming templates introduces compatibility problems, I ended up adding a disambiguation notice to the unused Template:Featured article. That should fix the problem enough. &mdash; Soprano(talk) 22:42, September 28, 2021 (EDT)
