What makes a featured article?
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...
- ...be well written and detailed (but not too detailed)
- ...be unbiased, non-point of view
- ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
- ...be stylized fairly nicely
- ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. {{rewrite-wikidump}}, {{rewrite}})
- ...have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
- ...have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
- ...not have been previously featured
- ...be notable (have significant content) – sometimes complete articles like Spiny Shroopa don't have enough information available to warrant a FA.
- ...must be in the main namespace and not be a subpage
- Note: A nomination may be canceled if any of the requirements are not met.
