Template talk:Featured Article

Ok, We need to get working on these guidelines that are "coming soon." If anyone has suggestions, let me know. Otherwise I'l probably just adapt from another wiki.~ dkpat 10:24, 26 January 2011 (CST)
 * I'd have to wonder if it's really a good idea for the "Featured Article guidelines are coming soon!" line to remain displaying on the main page the way it is. And since I figure that FAs should be once a month, I'd make Alex February's FA next, and by the end of tonight. Erik the Appreciator 17:29, 31 January 2011 (CST)

March Article
Ok, so as I'm sure people have noticed, I haven't really got guidelines set for this yet, So... since we have done so up til now anyways, I think It should just be chosen by Admins, with suggestions by Users. So, here is the section for it! Make any article suggestions for March's Featured Article!~ dkpat 10:10, 26 February 2011 (CST)
 * I'll just suggest Felix this time. Erik the Appreciator 12:05, 26 February 2011 (CST)
 * Personally, I would prefer it not be a character. We are setting a pattern. Maybe we can do a place or an item?76.177.95.231 23:27, 26 February 2011 (CST)
 * Bah, um... Taopo Swamp? Erik the Appreciator 03:36, 27 February 2011 (CST)

How about click "random page" and select whatever page you get :P Chinkycandie 05:17, 27 February 2011 (CST)


 * That's kind of missing the point. Generally speaking, a featured article should be "high quality" (whatever that's going to mean...), so just picking random articles isn't a good idea. If something like, say, Zol or Gunpowder Bomb became our featured article, people would get the impression that our wiki is lackluster at best.
 * Anyways, how about Air's Rock? The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 10:19, 27 February 2011 (CST)

Keep clicking it until you get a page that isn't a stub. Chinkycandie 22:55, 27 February 2011 (CST)


 * Well ok, Air's Rock probably makes the best sense. Erik the Appreciator 01:01, 28 February 2011 (CST)

April 2011 Article
Let's get this started early enough so we have plenty of time to get an article in our minds. Suggestions for The April article? ~ dkpat 22:03, 20 March 2011 (CDT)

The best Djinni article or the best weapon article. Chinkycandie 23:48, 20 March 2011 (CDT)


 * Both sound like good starting places, but I'd recommend we choose a weapon/Djinni that doesn't appear in Dark Dawn. The DD info is often just tacked onto the end rather than incorporated into the article, and even when it isn't it tends to be choppy and incomplete, or at least lacks the fine-tuning to qualify as a featured article. P.S. Why limit ourselves to weapons? Armor could work too. But probably not any consumable items; they're still under construction. The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 10:14, 21 March 2011 (CDT)


 * I was going to suggest Flint for the Djinni, Sol Blade for the weapon, or we could have Vale! Where everything started and ended :P Chinkycandie 04:18, 23 March 2011 (CDT)


 * I wouldn't recommend Flint or the Sol Blade, for the reasons I mentioned above. I'm okay with Vale, though ;) The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 10:13, 23 March 2011 (CDT)

Any Further input? ~ dkpat 05:37, 31 March 2011 (CDT)
