Editing SmashWiki:Featured content

'''Featured articles''' are considered to be the best articles on SmashWiki, as determined by our editors. Before being listed here, articles should be reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and style.  A small, stylized ''Super Smash Bros.'' logo with a star on an article's page indicates that the article is featured, or has been featured in the past.

You can view all prior featured articles and their snippets on [[SmashWiki:Featured content/Full]].

 

Other users may then respond expressing either support or opposition to the suggestion. Users should judge an article for how feature-worthy it is based on the article's comprehensiveness of the subject at hand, how well-written the article is, how accurate the information within the article is, if the article is clean of errors, and every other thing that contributes to an article's quality (e.g. how effectively are images used in the article). Users should not base their judgment on things not related to the article's content, such as how interesting they personally find the article's subject or assume others would find it, if the article would be too "complicated" for the average reader, how "relevant" they think the article subject is, nor based on how frequent similarly themed articles have been featured in the past. "Votes" based on reasons that have little-to-nothing to do with the article's content will be ignored. The exception is with Smasher, Tournament, and Team articles, where the subject's notability will also be considered as mentioned previously.

==Proposed featured articles==

===Anniversaries===

The title is intentionally vague because it encompasses more than just one article, but stay with me on this one.

We ''could'' also have a "today's anniversary" template on the main page, but where's the fun in that?

:How would characters/universes without specific anniversaries like Pac-Man, Bomberman and Virtua Fighter be handled? And in cases such as Mario and Donkey Kong, does that mean that we'll need to feature four articles? Pokémon alone would need a whopping eight articles featured, depending on how you count the Trainer's Pokémon. That will get overwhelming very quickly if they'll be featured as prominently as regular featured articles.

::Note how I used the word "or" ("Sonic the Hedgehog '''''or''''' the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' universe", "Ryu, Ken, '''''or''''' the ''Street Fighter'' universe", "Cloud Strife '''''or''''' Sephiroth")—it would only be one page as the featured article at a time, cycling through a predetermined pattern. For stuff like Pac-Man, Bomberman, and Virtua Fighter, I want to say that Sakurai has posted on Twitter for those anniversaries in the past, and we could use those dates as a basis—if not, we could use the first of the month that they debuted in (and if it came down to only knowing a year, then we could reach some agreement on how to handle that). I'd be more than happy to compile information surrounding my above suggestion to make sure everyone knew what was associated with which date.

===[[Kazuya (SSBU)]]===

This article looks very well written for an [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|''Ultimate'' DLC character]] to me, especially considering the amount of technical data articles we at SmashWiki had to create for Kazuya's 38 moves. It must've taken a lot of willing contributors and/or massive effort to bring the article to its near-complete if not complete status we have today, including the articles detailing his [[command-input move]]s, special moves, [[Crouch Dash]], technical data for each move (except for [[Heaven's Door]] and [[Final Blaster]], which do not have technical articles yet), etc. Deserves featured article status to me.

:Right away I notice the bloated gallery and trivia sections, I'm not even going to bother reviewing the rest of the article as long as these two glaring problems have not been addressed yet, which are two things directly stated as needing cleaning up in our [[SW:Project|projects page]]. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 06:26, June 28, 2023 (EDT)

:::Read the projects page, and a bunch of other character articles being like that does not make it ok, the fact so many of them have bloated trivia and gallery sections '''''is why''''' it's a wiki project. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 06:29, June 30, 2023 (EDT)

===[[King K. Rool (SSBU)]]===

A very well written page with numerous images, as well as a great summary on his weaknesses and strengths. All of K. Rool's moves have technical data and their own weaknesses and strengths. I believe the only issue with this page is the missing announcer calls, which is a very small things. I think this article should be featured for these reasons, this page is the greatest of them all.
