== '''Criteria for [[WikiMD:Featured articles|Featured Articles]] on [[WikiMD]]''' ==

A '''Featured Article''' on [[WikiMD]] is a hallmark of excellence. It represents a piece that stands out for its depth, organization, and articulation, serving as a testament to the highest standards of our community. Want to understand more about the characteristics of a featured article? Dive into [[WikiMD:What is a featured article|what makes an article 'featured']].

=== 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 "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" 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 <tt><nowiki>{{msg:fac}}</nowiki></tt> on the article's discussion page, which will display [[WikiMD:Fac|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 [[WikiMD:Featured articles|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 [[WikiMD:Featured articles|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 [[WikiMD:Featured articles|FA]].
* On the article's discussion page, the nomination note should be replaced with <tt><nowiki>{{msg:featured}}</nowiki></tt>, which will display [[WikiMD:Featured|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.
