Forum:Featured Article

It's kind of hard to believe that since I've come on to this Wiki, which was about 8 months ago, the featured article at the front of the page has not changed at all! I mean, I was told I could use the featured article nomination page, but who even uses that? (It hasn't been touched for months!) My personal opinion is that the featured articles don't have to change every month or so, but more often than what has happened so far for the long period of time with no new featured article.

But now that I think of it, there are a great number of articles that can be featured in correspondence with the Nitrome blog and what is posted there. For instance, the upcoming release of Rubble Trouble Tokyo could mean we feature Rubble Trouble. Or with the to-be-released Office Trap, Knight Trap could be featured. Or maybe with Silly Sausage there could have been a feature on the NES consoles or something to that extent, not necessarily limiting themselves to game articles.

There are different ways the featured article could change, too! As mentioned above, using that Featured Article form to nominate an article that shows the Wiki's best quality could work. There's also this other idea I had, which involves choosing an article to feature, and then working to add content and perfect it so it can make it to the featured article list. It would involve a lot of users working to add content, and perhaps not everyone would be willing or want to do it, but it's an idea and it could possibly work if enough people are up to teamwork challenge.

And by the way...to be honest, I'm actually not THAT worked up about whether the featured article would remain Feed Me! forever or not. It would be a good idea, however, since there is a place to feature an article that it be used and perhaps regularly updated.  Random - Story Keeper   16:41, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
