Featured article discussion
If you have questions about featured article policy (such as it is!) or want to propose a change to the way we do things, please comment at Talk:Meta:Featured articles.
Schedule of upcoming feature articles
At this stage, if you want a geek woman or a geek woman's organisation in the schedule, just fix it up (add a picture, make sure it's 3 or more paragraphs in length), add {{subst:Nominate featured article}} at the top of the article and stick it in here! Check Category:Proposed feature article for ideas.
If it's an event or similar, try for an appropriate date (ie having the featured article be on the front page before and during the event, or on the anniversary, or etc).
Featured articles will change over every 1-3 months. The following list contains the ones we think we might do fairly soon (with dates where relevant). If you have a suggestion that fits in with a particular date, such as an event or an anniversary, you can add it here with the relevant dates.
| Page | 3 paras? | image? | suggested date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outreachy | |||
| Anarchafeminist Hackerhive | Y | Y | |
| Girl Geek Dinners | Y | Y (but might be too small) |
Making the changeover
- Edit the front page:
- remove the previous feature
- add the new one, including an excerpt from the article, a picture from the article, and a link to the article.
- update the links to the previous and next featured articles (you may need to JFDI and decide the next one if there's nothing in the schedule)
- Add {{subst:Record featured article}} to the top of the featured page article on the day of the switch (and remove the "Proposed" template if any).
