Featured articles

This project is for determining which articles should be classified as featured articles. Featured articles exemplify some of the best written and most informational articles on TF2 Wiki that adhere to the featured article criteria. Before submitting a page for featured article review, nominators may wish to first receive feedback by listing the article for open review.

Nominators are expected to make an effort to correct any objections that arise. Nominators are also expected to respond regularly to the article discussion, and adjust accordingly to constructive criticism.

In order for an article to be promoted, a consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. Consensus is built among reviewers and nominators.

Consensus is determined by the featured article project leader (currently WanderingFox)

Once consensus has been reached, the article will either be marked as a featured article by the project leader, or a list of the criteria that the article fails to meet will be listed.

Nomination procedure

  1. Before nominating an article, please ensure that it meets all of the featured article criteria.
  2. If there have been no previous nominations for the article, or if the previous nominations have been archived, proceed to the next step. If a nomination is already in process, please use the current one.
  3. Create a new sub-section under the Nominated articles on the nominations page, with a link to the page as the section title. Don't forget to include your initial reasoning for the nomination.
  4. Add the {{Featured article candidate}} template to the top of the article's talk page.

Supporting and Objecting

Please read a nominated article fully before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.

  • To respond to a nomination, click the "Edit" link to the right of the article nomination (do not use the edit link for the whole page).
  • To support a nomination, write *'''Support''', followed by your reason(s). If you have been a significant contributor to the article, please indicate this.
  • To oppose a nomination, write *'''Object''' or *'''Oppose''', followed by the reason(s). Each objection must provide a specific rationale that can be addressed. If nothing can be done in principle to address the objection, the project leader may ignore it.
  • Reviewers who object are strongly encouraged to return after a few days to check whether their objection has been addressed. To withdraw the objection, strike it out (with <s> ... </s>) rather than removing it. If a nominator feels that the matter has been addressed, they should say so rather than striking out the reviewer's text.
  • To provide constructive input on a nomination without specifically supporting or objecting, write *'''Comment''' followed by your advice.
