Pikipedia talk:Featured article
Instructions
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 list.
- 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.
- Tweet about the new featured article.

Very helpful article. Hopefully, we get some users to submit some cool featured Pikmin articles if possible.
Okay, since we're now not using a rotation, should this be changed? Should we set up a system whereby articles can be nominated to be featured? We would just set up a page for people to edit with their nominations, and change the article to a new popular one when it's getting old (maybe at Pikmin: Featured articles/nominations). Also, I'd like to have a record of what's been featured here, something like:
- Perplexing Pool
- 30th March 2008 - 18th April 2008
[[8-day run]]- 18th April 2008 -
Hm? Also, is there any possible appropriate image for the current feature? It needs one.GP 08:48, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm on it. And a "yes" to all the other stuff.--Prezintenden
- Okay, seeing as featured articles now just use the introductory paragraph or so from the main article, there's no point in creating a page for them; just have it at template:feature and change that text. I'm going to set that up now; what I want to know is the opinion on what should be done with the other featured articles and the rotation page.GP 18:18, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I think it's time to choose a new feature from the four on the nominations page. Might be easier if people actually opposed those they won't support rather than being nice.GP 18:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Should I change the featured article to Smokey Progg soon? ~~ Edit: Oops. Vol (Talk)
