Featured articles are articles that are notable for their high quality and importance. They should be complete in content, be well written, follow the 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.

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 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 here.

Planet Hocotate, as seen in Pikmin 2's opening cutscene.
Hocotate, viewed from space.

Hocotate is the home planet of some of the leaders in the Pikmin franchise, most notably Captain Olimar and his family, as well as Louie. While no gameplay takes place on Hocotate, various information about the planet is known through notes and cutscenes. Life on Hocotate appears to be similar to life on Earth, though with some major differences.
