MarioWiki:Featured articles
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. It does not matter where it ranks according to the Template:Link.

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
- ...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}})
- ...not 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.
- Note: A nomination may be canceled if any of the requirements are not met
How to nominate:
- First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, creating a sub-page at MarioWiki:Featured Article/N/pagename; see criteria above.
- 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).
- Supporters can adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
- The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
- 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:
- Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
- Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or oppose the article's nomination.
- If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
- Supporters are expected to help fix the problems pointed out by objectors and contact them to reevaluate the article. Anyone else can pick up this project as well.
- 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".
