As most of you have noticed, we have this moving Featured Articles thing on the front page of the wiki. Idea is to list all the most important articles there.


How to make an article 'Featured'?
Note: This should only be done by Wiki Editors!

It couldn't be any easier really. All you need to do is assign the category Featured to an article, and that article will automatically appear on the front page. That's it.

When new featured articles pop up, they push the old ones out. In other words, if we have multiple articles in the Featured category, the 3 most recent articles will be seen on the front page gallery.

As an example, I made the How to Add an Avatar Image to your Wiki Profile a featured article. It's not really a featured article, but I figured we needed to change that old article that had been there for ages.

Goal is to add one new featured article every 1-2 weeks. This means that each featured article will stay on the front page gallery for 3-6 weeks.

Comments? Ideas?

Awesome idea! :D The only problem is why makes an article truly 'feature-worthy' in comparison to the others, but I suppose if its generally beneficial for the game as a whole, then the wiki editors will select it and make it featured as necessary.

One question though: is it possible to make the featured articles 'shufflable'? Some wiki websites are known to have a set of 'articles' that randomly shuffled through on a daily or weekly basis. Maybe we can have something akin to that for these articles so that old and new ones alike get equal spotlights (unless they're recently added to the featured list; then they automatically get shown)?

Just a thought. ^^; Otherwise, thank you for shrinking the size of that. Before, it was really long and kind of cut over parts of my screen as from before. ;)

Awesome work !

... but I wonder how we'll be able to find good articles, aside from the Featured Cards. We'll have to find good ideas, and write about it. I'm confident about this.

Make a suggestion thread where people can give article ideas.
