MarioWiki:Featured articles

File:W-mario-800.jpg

The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best SMW has to offer. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, items, or the like.

So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.

---

An article must...

1. ...be well written and detailed
2. ...be unbiased, non-point of view
3. ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
4. ...be stylized fairly nicely
5. ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. {{rewrite-wikidump}}, {{rewrite}})
6. ...not have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
7. ...have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
8. ...not have been previously featured

---

How to nominate:

1. First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
2. Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
3. Supporters can adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
4. The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
5. Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

How to vote:

1. Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
2. Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
   1. If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
3. As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
4. Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".

Support

1. Knife (talk)
2. 3D, Chain Chomp Fan! That article is, indeed, one that could, and should, become a FA. It has a section from about every game, pics, descriptions...
3. Paper Jorge
4. Nice and long! WarioLoaf (talk)

Oppose

1. Wa _T^C_@^Y – not enough info in the appearances section.

Comments

I weakly oppose because 1-2 sentences per game won't cut it. 4-5 sentences will, so someone please expand the article and I'll support. Wa _T^C_@^Y 18:33, 11 December 2006 (EST)
