#[[Vodo Biask Taldrya]] is a nice page, but has some issues with formatting and content like Trivia and DJB facts/achievements that do not meet the current standard for a Featured Article -  [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre Stahoes]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 23:37, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
# Adding [[Fort Blindshot]] for consideration following Tor's recent updates. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 11:43, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
#[[Reiden]] is a decent example of a Wiki article. [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre Stahoes]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 23:37, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
## CON: AI art. Not a dealbreaker but I try to avoid it.
## CON: but has a lack of linking/interlinking and the presence of the now-outmoded DJB trivia/facts section that need to be addressed before it can be considered more seriously for Featured status. - [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre Stahoes]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 23:37, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
# Nora mentioned [[Selika Roh]] in chat--kind of surprised it wasn't featured in the past. It hasn't had a real update since 2020 but a little spring cleaning could get it there. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 17:57, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
#[[Lucyeth]] is not a bad example of a a potential Featured Page. The big outstanding issue are the three sections that are literal lists. If these can be turned into paragraphs or otherwise integrated into the article, it would be pretty pretty much golden. If there are any other questions, feel free to contact me via email or Telegram.  - [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre Stahoes]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 02:31, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

# [[Wrathus]] - [[User:Ronovi|Ronovi]]
## CON: Section ''Darkness Elevated (34 ABY)'' needs completed
## A couple of issues I see here. First: it has both a DJB facts and a Trivia section. In order to be Featured the page would need to either omit these sections or integrate them into the larger page. If you want any assistance with this, I will be glad to advise as I would for anyone.  - [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre Sadow]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 11:22, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
## CON: Section ''Collective Assault & A New Legacy (35 ABY)'' needs completed
##The Wrathus IRL section really would be something expected to be on the [[user:Wrathus]] page than his character's page. At least if it is to be featured. - [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre Sadow]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 11:22, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
# [[Rian Taldrya]] at a glance might make the makings of a featured page.
# [[Shadow Nighthunter]]
## CON: Slight expansion of the childhood section would strengthen this page.
## Fold your Trivia or integrate it into your larger page, and then you should be rather golden - [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre Sadow]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 12:41, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
## CON: "Something about Rian having a hard time as teenager on a mandalorian military academy while being a half-breed." in the Teen Years section needs to be expanded/completed.
#[[Orv Dessrx]] is a nice page, however there are a couple issues. It has both a DJB facts and a Trivia section.

[[User:Tasha'Vel Versea|Tasha'Vel Versea]] ([[User talk:Tasha'Vel Versea|talk]]) 22:25, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
## CON: Rule of Tyranny needs expanded
#[[Antenora]] is one that might have been overlooked. It's highly detailed for an article on a relatively minor planet, and delves into a multitude of areas that many similar articles tend to skim over. - [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] --[[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 16:01, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

# [[Eilen Ru'tyari]] is at the very least worth examining. While brief, it offers a very comprehensive history on the character and offers a detailed arc and development to follow.

## I concur. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
# [[Iwu Koraha Mahue]] is well though out, highly detailed, and offers a wealth of images. It's a good example of how to flesh out a great deal and add it to a world while keeping it concise. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:47, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best DJBWiki has to offer. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like.

Potential Featured Articles

List an article and note any fixes that would need to be made by the creator before it can become a Featured Article. After adding the article to the list, contact the creator and notify him/her that their article has the potential to be Featured with some minor tweaks.

Process

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…

  1. …be well written and detailed.
  2. …be written from an unbiased, third-person, objective point of view.
  3. …have a complete, detailed biography if the page concerned is a character article.
  4. …have a succinct and appropriate lead that can be used for the front page featured box.
  5. ...have a properly applied Eras Template at the top of the page where applicable.
  6. …not be the object of any ongoing edit wars.
  7. …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
  8. …not contain an unreasonable number (use common sense) of red links.
  9. …not have been previously featured.
  10. ...not contain a trivia section comprised of a random assortment of miscellaneous facts. See the corresponding article on Trivia for more details.

For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:What is a featured article.


How to nominate:

  1. First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
  2. 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).
  3. Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
  4. The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
  5. Also, if, at least two 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:

  1. Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
  2. Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
    1. If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
  3. As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
  4. 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".

Also remember to add {{Nominated}} at the top of the article you are nominating.

Every month the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with a Featured icon and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the {{Featured article}} template. Nominees that are inactive for a month may be eliminated from the nominations list.
