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 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.
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 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.

Hint
Hints are a game mechanic in Pikmin 3 Deluxe that give advice on what to do in the game. Their purpose is to assist players who are not sure what to do to advance in the game's story. Hints consist of some text, some images, and in most cases, arrows on the ground pointing towards the next destination.
Previously featured articles
In 2007 and early 2008, featured articles used a 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.
