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 bronze star on an article's page indicates that the article is featured.

More information on the setup can be found on Featured Article System on Inside Wikia.

You can view all featured article snippets on SmashWiki:Featured content/Full.

How to requests that an article be featured

To propose an article be featured, please do the following:

  • Create a heading under "Proposed featured articles" that looks like this: ===Article Name===, where "Article Name" is the full name of the article you believe is worthy of being labeled as a featured article.
  • Briefly explain why this article merits featured article status.
  • Be sure to sign your proposition with ~~~~

Proposed featured articles

Any of the following stages: Smashville, WarioWare, Inc., Final Destination (SSBM), Rainbow Cruise. Several others are close, such as Onett and Dream Land. Miles (talk) 00:45, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

May I ask why? FA's are supposed to be the wiki's best articles, no? None of them extremely stand out. They are more so circumstantial cases, as they have special features/quirks. The only one of those would possibly be Smashville, as that is more than a simple "stage" article.Smoreking(T) (c) 00:13, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
What would you suggest then? Miles (talk) 00:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Article Name

Jungle Japes, Koopa Troopa, Palutena's Army, Poke Floats —Preceding unsigned comment added by doodledoug321 (talkcontribs)

Name Entry glitch

I recommend the Name Entry glitch page. It's a full, well-written article and its subject is of great interest to anyone who isn't aware of it. WaluigiIsAwesome (talk) 00:35, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Controllers

Recently I added a user poll to the controllers page because I was interested in knowing which controllers people play with the most. As of right now, the page (and the poll) have not had much traffic. I propose adding the controllers page as a featured article so it gets more traffic, and thus more polling.

Snapshots

I was just thinking... could this be a featured article? I'm also somewhat of a noob :S bobertbojo2 (talk) 17:49, 9 August 2009

Featured Article for February

Lucario (SSBB)

I think that this is a good detailed article, like many of the other Brawl character pages. I think that these all should be featured as they are all long and highly detailed. Then again, the main reason for nomination may be because it is my favourite character in Brawl. Solar Dragon (Talk) 20:21, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Support

  1. Read my nomination. Solar Dragon (Talk) 20:21, September 30, 2009 (UTC)
  2. Agreed. It has... everything. 98.117.158.220 04:01, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
  3. I think Lucario should be featured. The article looks very nice & professional. Thomas16521 (talk) 00:19, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral

  • Once it's cleaned up, it'll look good. Right now the only thing bringing it down is the massive section that needs to be fixed; otherwise, it's pretty darn good. HavocReaper'48 23:56, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Captain Falcon (SSBM)

I have personally put a lot of time into this article, and I think it turned out great. Now, of course, I'm still working on other Melee character's movesets and articles as well (Without anyone helping me, honestly any help is welcome ...), but I really liked this one. HavocReaper'48 21:21, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Support

  1. Very complete, Havoc put in hard work, one of the best Melee character articles. IMO this qualifies as sticking out.Smoreking(T) (c) 20:17, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
  2. See Smoreking. Really looks good, certainly one of our better character articles. I say let's give it a go. RAN1 (talkcontributions) 20:25, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
  3. Same as everyone above. Plus, Captain Falcon was my second best/favorite character in Melee. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 18:50, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Bump. --HavocReaper'48 18:37, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, fun fact. You can create your FA blurb and then ask a sysop to update the main page. Yeah. Miles (talk) 18:49, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
What an interesting fact. Anyway, the Main Page just got a whole lot manlier. About time a Melee character article got featured. Now, time for Captain Falcon (SSB) to shine, eventually. --HavocReaper'48 19:12, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Momentum Canceling

Before Mako Shark and I came along, this page was nothing but a pitiful stub, despite being perhaps the most important new technique introduced in Brawl. Since this page was so underdeveloped, it inspired me to research momentum canceling in more depth. Through testing, I found that stall-then fall attacks do not aid in momentum canceling, that Ike and Snake experience better results using an air dodge instead of their fastest aerial, all of the special moves that do aid in momentum canceling and most importantly, I found out the momentum canceling abilities of every character in the game. I would expand this article by rewriting the intro, adding the vertical and horizontal momentum canceling charts, explain both forms of momentum canceling in more detail, and describe the special moves that negate momentum better than the basic method. Mako Shark helped me greatly on this page as she rearranged the information, did a grammer revision of the article and overall, made the article just look and read much better. Together, we spent hours of hard work giving momentum canceling the page it deserves. I would have to say it is our best article we have on any SSB technique, with the wavedashing article being the only other one that is comparable (which was also a featured article in the past).

  1. While I might be considered biased, I agree that this page has a detailed, thoroughly researched collection of useful data that can easily be referenced and understood by people. Mako Shark (talk) 06:08, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
  2. While I kinda understand it, other people can use it to increase there skills.--Megatron1 (talk) 02:14, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

I've finished my part, but Omega Tyrant is on hiatus at the moment and can't check over it for consistency until he gets back. I believe that it's ready to be voted on as a featured article, but keep in mind that it may continue to change in a few days' time. Mako Shark (talk) 05:21, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
