This page contains instructions on how to make and use features. To nominate an article to become a featured article, use Pikmin:Featured articles/nominations.
Changing the featured article
The featured article text is located at Template:Feature. Edit this template to change the featured article. You must:
- Put the main article of the new feature in Category: Featured articles.
- Add the Featured template to the top of the main article, including the date, in the form {{featured|start date|end date}}. If it is a current feature, omit the end date.
- Update the Previous featured articles section of this page.
Featured articles should be articles that are complete in content, well written, and are interesting enough to be put on the front page. Copy the introductory few paragraphs from the article and an image if at all possible.
