Teloschistaceae as Wikipedia “Featured article of the day”

On February 19th, English Wikipedia had the article on the family Teloschistaceae as their “Featured article of the day”!

As the main contributor of the article Robert Sasata (Wikipedia user Esculenta) explains, this means that Teloschistaceae got displayed on the main page of the online encyclopedia, with 4-5 million views daily. Before that, only another lichen-related subject has been a main-page feature on Wikipedia and it was the article on Edvard August Vainio on August 7, 2020.
