'''Featured articles''' are articles that are notorious for their quality and importance. They should be complete in content, well written, follow the [[Pikipedia:Policy|policies]] and 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.

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


This page contains instructions on how to make and use features. To nominate an article to become a featured article, use [[Pikipedia:Featured articles/nominations]].
On Pikipedia, an article is selected to be featured every 2 months, and the newly-featured article is shown on the [[Main Page]], while previously featured articles are kept in [[:Category:Featured articles]]. To decide which article to feature next, all editors are encouraged to '''[[Pikipedia:Featured article/nominations|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 [[Pikipedia:Main Page update|here]].


==Changing the featured article==
==Current featured article==
To update the featured article, you must:
{{feature}}
*Update the previous featured article to have the end date in the "featured" template, in the form ''<nowiki>{{featured|start date|end date}}</nowiki>''. Move this to the bottom of the page, but keep it above any footer.
*Add the [[Template:Featured|Featured template]] to the top of the main article of the new feature, including the date, in the form ''<nowiki>{{featured|date}}</nowiki>'' (read the template documentation for more details).
*Update the [[#Previous featured articles|Previous featured articles section of this page]].
*Move the nomination on the [[/nominations|nominations page]] to the [[/past nominations|archive]].
*Update [[Template:Feature]]. Copy a few of the introductory paragraphs from the article and an image, if at all possible.


==Previous featured articles==
{{clear}}
Since the introduction of featuring articles without the use of a rotation, the following articles have been featured:
==Previously featured articles==
In 2007 and early 2008, featured articles used a [[Template:Featured article|rotation system]] where a different article from a list would be shown on the Main Page each day. It was then changed to a system where there is one featured article at a time. A list of featured articles under this system has been kept below. Note that all articles in this list have changed since the time they were featured, and some may no longer meet the requirements to be featured.
