featured.py is outdated for most Wikimedia projects, as this function is now part of Wikidata.
Wiki families that still need featured.py:
- All-and-every-Wiktionary
- uncyclopedia (e.g. http://ikkepedia.org/wiki/Kina)
@Ladsgroup suggest to archive it. Might be bots/misc would be a nice place for it but unfortunately it is another repository and moving to it, its version history will be lost. The other way would be to create a scripts/archive subfolder and put it there.
