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]].
{{shortcut|P:FA}}
'''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.


==Changing the featured article==
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]].
The featured article text is located at [[Template:Feature]]. Edit this template to change the featured article.  You must:
*Add the ''Featured'' template to the top of the main article of the new feature, including the date, in the form ''<nowiki>{{featured|date}}</nowiki>''.
*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.
*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]].


Featured articles should be articles that are complete in content, well written, and are interesting enough to be put on the front page. Copy the introductory few paragraphs from the article and an image if at all possible.
==Current featured article==

===Weekly rotation===
{{clear}}
When the featured articles are on a weekly rotation, the following applies. There is one template which holds the data for which articles show for each day of the week. In order to rotate the articles edit the template below. Articles should be rotated weekly.
==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.
