<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

This template is used to configure the articles found in the '''''Selected article''''' section found on most Wikipedia Portal main pages. Used it on the article pages that are linked to the Selected article sub-page, e.g. '''Portal:''Foo''/Selected article/1'''''. For the quickest and easiest way to create the '''Portal:''Foo''/Selected ''bar''''' sub-page and related article links, use one of the {{tl|Numbered subpages}} templates.

== Template layout ==
<pre width="75%">
{{Selected article
| image   = 
| size    = 
| side    =
| caption = 
| text    = <!--- Required --->
| link    = <!--- Required --->
| archive =
}}
</pre>

== Usage ==
It is unnecessary to include braces, quotation marks or other wiki-markup in the template. The '''''|text=''''' field does allow the use of wiki-markup at the contributor's discretion.

* '''image'''  - Image relating to the subject of the article.
* '''size'''   - Set the size of the image here, it will default to 250px if no size is specified.
* '''side'''   - Set the location of the image here, it will default to left if no side is specified. Use ''right'' or ''center'' as the variable.
* '''caption'''- Image caption, if any.
* '''text'''   - A brief summary of the subject.
* '''link'''   - Wikilink to the main article about the subject.
* '''archive''' - Using this field with a value of ''no'' will remove the '''More selected articles''' link in the lower left corner. Use this field if you are using the ''|footer='' parameter in the {{tl|random box-header subpage}} template on the main portal page.

'''French cuisine ''' is a style of cooking derived from the nation of [[France]]. It evolved from centuries of social and political change. The [[Middle Age]]s brought lavish [[banquet]]s to the upper class with ornate, heavily seasoned food prepared by chefs such as [[Guillaume Tirel]].  The era of the [[French Revolution]], however, saw a move toward fewer [[spice]]s and more liberal usage of [[herb]]s and refined techniques. French cuisine was codified in the 20th century by [[Auguste Escoffier|Georges Auguste Escoffier]] to become the modern version of ''[[haute cuisine]]''. Ingredients and dishes vary by region.  There are many significant regional dishes that have become both national and regional.  Many dishes that were once regional, however, have proliferated in different variations across the country in the present day.  [[Cheese]] and [[wine]] are also a major part of the cuisine, playing different roles both regionally and nationally with their many variations and ''[[Appellation d'origine contrôlée]]'' (AOC) (regulated appellation) laws.
