Pikipedia:Featured article

Revision as of 22:36, July 23, 2015 by RH (talk | contribs)

Featured articles are articles that are notorious for their quality and importance. They should be complete in content, well written, follow the 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.

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.

Changing the featured article

To update the featured article, you must:

  • Update the previous featured article to have the end date in the "featured" template, in the form {{featured|start date|end date}}. Move this to the bottom of the page, but keep it above any footer.
  • Add the Featured template to the top of the main article of the new feature, including the date, in the form {{featured|date}} (read the template documentation for more details).
  • Update the Previous featured articles section of this page.
  • Move the nomination on the nominations page to the archive.
  • Update Template:Feature. Copy a few of the introductory paragraphs from the article and an image, if at all possible.
