'''Featured articles''' are considered to be the best articles on SmashWiki, as determined by our editors. Before being listed here, articles are reviewed at featured article candidates for accuracy, completeness, and style.  A small, stylised ''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.

==Rules and regulations==
*Feature articles will be chosen quarterly: on the first of January, April, July, and October.
:*New suggestions may not be added in the month leading up to the next featured article (e.g. no suggestions in December because it's a month before January).
*Feature articles will be chosen based on vote count alone.
:*The article with the highest vote total (supports being +1, opposes being -1) will be chosen.
:*In the event of a tie, an admin picks which article gets used.
*Suggestions expire:
:*a year after they are given, should they not be chosen.
:*quarterly if they have a score of less than 0.
*There may be no more than 10 suggestions at any one time.
*Each user is limited to one suggestion per voting period.
*All suggestions will be archived when they pass or fail (see [[SmashWiki:Featured content/Archive|here]]).
*All votes should be '''bolded''' or they will not be counted. (e.g. "'''support''' because this page is the greatest of them all!")


==Rules and regulations==
==Things to consider==
*Featured articles will be chosen around a bimonthly basis, though there is no set timeline for when a new featured article will be implemented.
The following is a list of things to consider, both when nominating and voting on an article
*Like most other proposals on the wiki, featured articles will not be chosen based on vote count alone, admins can override the most popular suggested article if they deem it of unsatisfactory quality, or otherwise find another article to be more feature-worthy.
#'''Quality and completeness of the article:''' Does the article sufficiently cover the topic at hand? Is it comprehensible and easy to follow? Are images used effectively and not excessively? Is the article lacking in grammar and spelling errors?
*For the inherent eligibility for an article to be featured, keep the following in mind:
#'''Relevance to Smash''': Is the article directly related to the Smash series, or is it more tangential?
**Any articles with a maintenance template on it is not eligible to be featured. If you want to feature an article tagged with such a template, fix the issues the article was tagged with the template for before trying to suggest it.
#'''Requirements''': Does the article have a sufficiently lengthy opening paragraph that it will fill out the featured article space on the main page? Does the article have an identifying image to accompany this description? Has the article been featured before (we do not accept articles that have already been featured)?
***Note that this does not apply to articles with templates that indicate an issue with the page that likely cannot be fixed, such as a tournament tagged with {{t|LostResults}} or an image tagged with {{t|HighQualityUnavailable}}.
**Articles in the Smasher, Tournament, and Team spaces are eligible for featuring, but they should cover especially notable subjects to be considered, and must have substantial content on them beyond just a table of results. Additionally, any Smasher article not fully updated to our [[SW:SMASHER|current standards]] will be automatically rejected.
**Articles about subjects that encompass insubstantial content should not be considered for featuring.
**Articles that have been featured previously are eligible to be refeatured. Any article that was featured before [[SmashWiki:Featured content/Full|FA54]] can be considered automatically eligible for refeaturing, but going forward, any articles featured after that point should be only be considered for refeaturing if substantial new information has been added to it since its original featuring, or other feature candidates are just so lackluster that SmashWiki is better off refeaturing the same content.
*Suggestions expire after no set time, but admins can reject them if they prove unpopular or otherwise gain little traction after a long enough time, assuming there's no glaring quality issue with the suggested article to reject it outright.
*Each user is limited to having only one suggestion up at a time, and users may not withdraw their own suggestions. Additionally, once a user has made a suggestion, they may not make a new suggestion for two months regardless of if they have a suggestion currently up or not.
*Suggested articles that were rejected are not automatically disqualified from being suggested again, but if the issues that resulted in it being rejected haven't been addressed, it will promptly get rejected again.
*All suggestions will be archived when they pass or fail.

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.

:'''Oppose''' I don't believe this is actually a good example of SmashWiki's excellence, which is what we are looking for in a featured article, due to the lack of prose. Plus, most of the Support votes aren't really about the article, but the Guidenece itself, which really isn't the point. [[File:PenroImage.png|19px]][[User:Penro|<font color="red">'''Pen'''</font><font color="black">'''''ro'''''</font>]] 13:34, 8 July 2016 (EDT)
:'''Oppose''': The article only occasionally elaborates on some of the detalis brought up in conversations (the Koopalings mystery, Link and Pit being released on the same year, etc.) and not others (the "ninjas that just eats very slowly" comment with Greninja, Falco being the leader of a galactic gang, "DO A BARREL ROLL!" with Fox, etc.). This is especially important since the article links to the characters' playstyle in SSB4 and not the "main" articles that actually have their backstory. Beyond that, some of the existing writing is a bit clunky in places; it's noticeable with the notes for Meta Knight, Samus, Shulk, WFTrainer, Yoshi, and especially Wario, though it wouldn't take much to clean it up. The lack of images doesn't help it much, either.
 
===[[Fox (SSBM)]]===
He is notorious for his waveshine combos.  He is also one of the fastest characters in the series.  He is also EXTREMELY popular competitively.[[File:SwagmanSig1.png|20px]] [[User:Swagman|<span style="color: Green;">'''Swagman'''</span>]], [[User talk:Swagman|<span style="color: Dark blue;">'''the Green Swordsman'''</span>]] [[File:SwagmanSig2.png|20px]] 08:42, 2 April 2016 (EDT)
:Look, we ''do not'' make pages featured articles because of the thing they are about (the subject, which in this case, is Melee Fox), we make them on the quality of the article (how clean it is, how much info it has, etc.). This article is rather good in my opinion after looking at all the information it has in the introduction, "Attributes" and "In competitive play". It could have more in "Changes from ''Smash 64'' to ''Melee''", though. -- [[User:Ethan7|<span style="color:#000f55;font-family:Cursive;font-style:italic">Ethan</span>]][[file:Ethan7sig.png|20px|link=User:Ethan7]]<small>''([[User talk:Ethan7|<span style="color:Blue">Discussion</span>]])''</small> 11:41, 2 April 2016 (EDT)

Considering how Fox is Competitive ''Melee''{{'}}s mascot, this won't be a bad idea although maybe push [[Fox]] as a whole. It isn't just ''Melee'' that he's beloved, he's a favorite among all smashers and although in my opinion he kinda gets more annoying within sequels (seriously Fox's voice in ''Smash 4''), you have to admit that he's an awesome character to use in any ''Smash'' game.

:'''Support''' This is the kind of article that needs featured at some point, especially since it only changes every 3 months. To outsiders, this may well define competitive smash. It is well written, gets to the point, and is fairly unbiased, which can't be said about most Brawl character pages. (There are straight up opinions in those articles someone should clean it up lol).

'''Weak Oppose'''. Could have more in "Changes from Smash 64 to Melee" to better explain how he moved from 4th to 1st on current tier lists.

:::The 46 featured articles so far have consisted of 11 characters, <b>12 stages </b>, 3 game mechanics, 3 games, 3 game menu areas (SSE, My Music, and Stickers), 2  bosses, 2 items (counting the Final Smash), 2 cosmetic items (music and costumes), 2 techniques, 2 fan creations (Smashtasm and tier list), 1 special move, 1 about AI, 1 about glitches, and 1 about stage aspects (platform). At a 11:12:23 ratio of characters:stages:misc, you have a 23.9%, 26.1%, and 50% featuring proportion, respectively. For a game based heavily on the stages and fighters, these ratios are pretty much expected.

==Proposed featured articles==
===[[History of competitive Melee]]===
===Anniversaries===
It really shows how a game designed to be non-competitive can become a competitive scene where people can win up to 15k, shows ups and downs of a important part of this Wiki, it also shows how much the competitive scene, and Smash Bros. as a whole advanced from its early days. That's including SmashWiki too. It is written in a way that many people wouldn't imagine doing, many people don't even think there was a platinum age. It also is written in long and informing paragraphs that definitly tells us a great our community is to put in that much time into one article. I can go on and on about how good this article is and how much it deserves to be featured, but i cannot make up your minds. You, and the rest of the SmashWiki community, will judge this article wisely  [[File:PoultrysigSSB4.png|20x50px]][[User:Poultry|<font color="red">'''Poultry'''</font>]][[File:PoultrysigSSBM.png|20x50px]]''([[User talk:Poultry#top|<font color="blue">talk</font>]])'' the God-Slayer 10:53, 1 July 2016 (EDT)

Obviously, we could have a standard "featured article" that stays up as normal, but I think it would be really cool to feature an article for a character or series for a single day based on their date of origin. As examples, even though we just passed it, we could have the pages for [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] or the {{uv|Sonic the Hedgehog}} universe on June 23rd; we could have the pages for [[Ryu]], [[Ken]], or the {{uv|Street Fighter}} universe on August 30th; we could have the pages for [[Cloud Strife]] or [[Sephiroth]] on January 31st, but the {{uv|Final Fantasy}} universe page on December 18th, since the series debuted on the latter date, but ''Final Fantasy VII'' released in Japan on the former date. We are an encyclopedic website covering information about all of these different video game series, so I think it would be really cool to honor them in some significant way. I should note that this would only be limited to playable characters, Assist Trophies, and {{rollover|stages|note that the stages would not be the featured article itself, but rather the universe they come from, like Nintendogs or Electroplankton|y}}, as to not make this absolutely insane, but I think it would be super neat for us to do something like that.

Aside from being kinda lengthy and list-y, this article is well structured and has nice visuals\images. Covers important info well while being as concise as possible. Since the DLC days are finally over it might be nice to reflect by the time a new FA is needed. It certainly isn't one of the most interesting out there but I think it can warrant a feature.

===[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]===
: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.

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.
