'''Featured articles''' are articles that are notorious for their quality and importance. They should be complete in content, well written, follow the [[Pikipedia:Policy|policies]] and interesting enough to be put on the front page. They should also have a very minimal amount of tasks that need to be done, and should not be about spoiler-heavy subjects. | '''Featured articles''' are articles that are notorious for their quality and importance.

In order to keep the front page fresh, but to not overload the editors, the featured article is changed every two months. To decide what article to feature next, all editors are encouraged to '''[[Pikipedia:Featured article/nominations|nominate and vote]]''' on articles. When the time comes to change to a new article, one trusted editor gets tasked with checking the nominations, discussing with the community tie-breakers and other details, and update the front page. Detailed instructions for that editor can be found on the [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}#Instructions|talk page]]. | |||

For a while, the featured article to display on the main page as picked at random from a list, every time the user loaded the page. It was eventually changed to the non-rotation system, where a simple log of features has also been kept: | |||
