Sonic Fanon Wiki:Featured Articles

Featured articles exemplify the very best work of the Sonic Fanon Wiki. They are this wiki's best articles.

A small picture of the Chaos Emeralds in the top right corner of a page indicates that the content is featured. In addition, the article's name will be added to the main page list, and a section of each featured article will be shown on the main page for a time period. The text content of the Featured Article template should be first paragraph of the article.

The rest of this document covers what type of articles should be considered, the criteria they should be judged by, the nomination/promotion/rejection procedure, and updating of the main page in detail, as well as lists of current feature articles.

Articles
Articles nominated for Featured Article status should adhere to the following criteria:


 * Articles should be of a reasonable length and detail.
 * Be comprehensive and in-depth.
 * Sometimes better to be written as an in-universe article, omitting references to game titles in the main text.
 * Have quotes and images where available and appropriate.

Nomination
Articles should be nominated on Featured Article Nominations. Each nomination will have a fourteen day period from the date of nomination to be either promoted or rejected.

All articles nominated should be tagged with the Featured Article Nomination template at the top of the page to produce this:

Voting
Voting should be limited to registered users only. It should be noted that Users who persistently nominate their own articles may have their nominations withdrawn, and a User may only nominate ONE of their articles every fourteen days.

After fourteen days, articles must be promoted or rejected depending on their vote total. Currently a clear 3 votes in favour/against will be sufficient, although this is subject to review if and when the community expands.

After the waiting period is over each article will be promoted or rejected. For a few days an archive of the voting shall remain on the nominations page. Afterwards a record of the nomination must be entered on the former nominations page, regardless of success or failure.

Promoted nominations
Promoted articles will then be listed on the this page and should be tagged with FA at the top of the page. This enters them in the Featured Article category, and puts a small picture of Chaos Emeralds in the upper right hand corner to indicate its status.

Rejected nominations/Improvement drive
Rejected nominations can become the subject of a community improvement drive/collaboration project in an effort to get them up to standard, should the page's writer allow it.

Re-nomination
Articles cannot be re-nominated unless significant improvement has been made to them.

Duplicate nominations
Any nominations that are already Featured Articles should be removed from the list immediately.
