("Pikmin drawing" should stay as "Pikmin drawing", following the precedent of "Planet of the Pikmin" (though that should link straight to PNF-404). And "7-day run (Pikmin 2)" should also have stayed as "8-day run", though the link can remain. And also "Pikmin limit" can get its link target changed.)

Featured articles are articles that are notable for their high quality and importance. They should be complete in content, be well written, follow the policies and guidelines, and be interesting enough to be put on the front page. They should also have a very minimal amount of tasks that need to be done, and should not be about spoiler-heavy subjects.

In order to keep the front page fresh, but to not overload the editors, the featured article is changed every two months. To decide what article to feature next, all editors are encouraged to nominate and vote on articles. When the time comes to change to a new article, one trusted editor gets tasked with checking the nominations, discussing with the community tie-breakers and other details, and update the front page. Detailed instructions for that editor can be found here.
