Nominating an Article

Any member of the WikiMD community can bring forward an article for the esteemed 'Featured' status.

• If you're proposing an article that you've contributed to or edited, please declare it clearly by indicating a self-nomination.
• Every nomination and subsequent comment should be signed and dated for transparency. Use "~~~~" for this purpose.
• Once you've put forward an article, it's a good practice to notify the wider readership. You can do this by adding {{msg:fac}} on the article's discussion page, which will display this notification.

Evaluation Process

We urge every member to thoroughly review nominated articles before casting their support or reservations. Here's how the evaluation unfolds:

• If an article garners no opposition for a minimum duration of one week, it's eligible to be listed under Featured Articles (FA).
• However, if there are reservations or disagreements, the community must come to a consensus.
• If disputes remain unresolved for an extended period (around two weeks), the article may be taken off the nomination list.
• Any member can place articles that have met the criteria into the FA category or remove articles that haven't made the cut.

Post-Approval Actions

Once an article ascends to the featured status, a few housekeeping steps ensure it's appropriately acknowledged:

• The article's link should be prominently placed in the relevant category under FA.
• On the article's discussion page, the nomination note should be replaced with {{msg:featured}}, which will display this badge, marking its exemplary status.

By adhering to these guidelines, we ensure a consistent, transparent, and democratic process that upholds the integrity of WikiMD's Featured Articles.
