When an article or image is deemed exceptionally high of quality, it can be made eligible for featured status. When a piece of content is featured, it is displayed on the front page of the wiki and given a special badge. The following is WiKirby's featured content policy.
Featured articles
- Main article: WiKirby:Featured Article Nomination
A featured article should be an article with the following qualities:
- completeness of information. (no substantial info is missing)
- sound of format. (no improvement notice templates are present)
- sufficient length. (at least 5000 bytes long)
- not a list page or disambiguation page.
- properly categorized.
- not an orphaned page. (at least one article links to it)
Once an article possesses these qualities, it may be put up for nomination. Nominated articles will then be voted up or down by the community. After two (2) weeks, an unchallenged article will pass and be featured on the front page.
Featured images
- Main article: WiKirby:Featured Picture Nomination
A featured image should be an image with the following qualities:
- a high quality image that is at least 600 pixels in width and 400 in height.
- sound of format. (no improvement notice templates are present)
- has complete documentation with source (where applicable).
- properly licensed.
- properly categorized.
- used in at least one article.
Once an image possesses these qualities, it may be put up for nomination. Nominated images will then be voted up or down by the community. After two (2) weeks, an unchallenged image will pass and be featured on the front page.
Featured videos
Unlike other featured content, featured videos cycle through on the front page at random, and are there permanently. To nominate a video, an editor can recommend it to an administrator+ on his/her talk page. The administrator will then decide if it is worthy to add to the rotation.
For more information about appropriate videos, see the video policy.
"Did you know that..." section
Much like featured videos, editors can request that trivia points be added to the "Did you know that..." section by recommending them to an Administrator on his/her talk page. Trivia points recommended should be verifiable and suitably interesting to non-expert readers.
Feature permanency
Once an article or image has become featured, it cannot be removed from the list of featured content. In the event that a featured article or image is made obsolete by new information, that obsolescence should be addressed as quickly as possible to keep it up-to-date.
Feature fast-track
In special cases, administrators+ may automatically feature an article or image with the appropriate qualities. Such actions should always be justifiable and given at least one day notice.
