SmashWiki:Featured content
|
Notice Due to the high volume of the wiki at this time, featured articles will not be chosen per this system until further notice.
|
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 featured article snippets on SmashWiki:Featured content/Full.
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 initial suggestion counts as one vote to the positive, and users may not therefore vote again.
- 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.
- All votes should be bolded or they will not be counted. (e.g. "support because this page is the greatest of them all!")
Things to consider
The following is a list of things to consider, both when nominating and voting on an article
- 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?
- Relevance to Smash: Is the article directly related to the Smash series, or is it more tangential?
- 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)?
How to request 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
Jigglypuff
Serpent King told me to vote... Alex Parpotta the flying lobster! 21:27, 27 December 2017 (EST)
- Support I will agree with Alex and after all, Jigglypuff's been here since the first game. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 23:46, 27 December 2017 (EST)
- Support I will agree with Alex because he spoke to me. --Unnamedgoon (talk) 18:34, 7 January 2018 (EST)
Rosalina & Luma (SSB4)
One of the best opening articles I've ever seen; this entire page is very detailed and Rosalina is a well-known character in Smash also. --Penro 09:16, 28 December 2017 (EST)
Support Great article. May the stars shine down on you. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 09:41, 1 January 2018 (EST)
Yoshi
Yoshi is Mario's trusted sidekick in many Mario games and is the star of his own franchise. He loves to eat enemies and turn them into eggs. A great article in my favor and I love this dinosaur. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:59, 15 January 2018 (EST)
Support for being the cutest guy ever and having an integral part in Smash, even if it's a small one. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 22:06, 2 April 2018 (EDT)
Bowser
The King of the Koopas in the Mario franchise and archenemy of Mario. He can ride on his Koopa Clown Car, play sports and most of all... FIRE BREATH! A nice article for me. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:59, 15 January 2018 (EST)
Smash Ball
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Smash Ball gives them a new special attack: the Final Smash. Anyone can take it! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 07:27, 5 June 2018 (EDT)
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The newest game of the series with all of the characters and stages! This one is going to be awesome! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:55, 12 June 2018 (EDT)
Oppose The game hasn't been released yet and usually an article about a game is features months or years after its release. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is a never lover boy 22:20, 28 June 2018 (EDT)
Oppose It's way too soon for this now. Aidan, the College-Bound Rurouni 22:26, 28 June 2018 (EDT)
Oppose. As the SW:FA page itself says, "articles should be reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and style." Being a page of a yet unreleased game, it misses the first two qualities at best.

Bowser (SSB4)
Bowser had the most changes out of every returning Melee veteran in the transition from Brawl to Smash 4, and even though he hasn’t been in many tournaments, he’s a great character to play as, so I think he should be given a shot at being featured!
