Please make 'featured wiki articles' a VW function. It would be useful to have the same function in VW. I would not want to show VW articles in FT itself. I would just want to have a featured wiki block that we can place anywhere. This would be awesome and would also enhance the wiki portal page.
Of course I do want to have autolinks in featured threads. Or any other featured content block in XF addons (AMS, Showcase, XFRM, etc)
btw: you can already add non-wiki content to wiki pages by using Widget System. Just add a few hooks and you are good to go.
