'''Featured articles''' are articles that are notable for their high quality and importance. They should be complete in content, be well written, follow the [[Pikipedia:Policies and guidelines|policies and guidelines]], and be 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 notable for their high quality and importance.

On Pikipedia, an article is selected to be featured every 2 months, and the newly-featured article is shown on the [[Main Page]], while previously featured articles are kept in [[:Category:Featured articles]]. To decide which 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 [[Pikipedia:Front page update|here]]. | |||
