==Proposed Featured Articles==
==Proposed Featured Articles==
===[[King K. Rool (SSBU)]]===
Entire page is extremely detailed with tons of tech and uses for each move. Probably one of the most detailed SSBU articles so far. The [[Crownerang]] page has 4 techs on it already as well, with execution and uses detailed, although that's probably too minor. --[[User:Plague von Karma|Plague von Karma]] ([[User talk:Plague von Karma|talk]]) 10:13, 1 March 2019 (EST)
===[[Jigglypuff]]===
Serpent King told me to vote... ''[[User:Alex Parpotta|<span style="color: blue;">'''Alex Parpotta'''</span>]] the [[User talk:Alex Parpotta|<span style="color: red;">'''flying lobster!'''</span>]]'' 21:27, 27 December 2017 (EST)

: '''Support''' I will agree with Alex because he spoke to me. --[[User:Unnamedgoon|Unnamedgoon]] ([[User talk: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. <span style="color:Green;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px skyblue">'''--'''</span>[[User:Penro|<span style="color:Red; text-shadow: 0px 0px 3px red">'''Pen'''</span>]][[User talk:Penro|<span style="color:Black; text-shadow: 0px 0px 3px black">'''ro'''</span>]] 09:16, 28 December 2017 (EST)
'''Support''' Great article. May the stars shine down on you. [[User:Dragonfirebreath25|Dragonfirebreath25]] ([[User talk:Dragonfirebreath25|talk]]) 09:41, 1 January 2018 (EST)
===[[Yoshi]]===
Yoshi is Mario's trusted sidekick in many ''[[Mario (universe)|Mario]]'' games and is the star of [[Yoshi (universe)|his own franchise]]. He loves to eat enemies and turn them into eggs. A great article in my favor and I love this dinosaur. [[User:Dragonfirebreath25|Dragonfirebreath25]] ([[User talk: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.

===[[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|FIRE BREATH]]! A nice article for me. [[User:Dragonfirebreath25|Dragonfirebreath25]] ([[User talk: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! [[User:Dragonfirebreath25|Dragonfirebreath25]] ([[User talk: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! [[User:Dragonfirebreath25|Dragonfirebreath25]] ([[User talk: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. [[:User:ZeldaStarfoxfan2164|ZeldaStarfoxfan2164]] ([[User talk:ZeldaStarfoxfan2164|talk]]) is a never lover boy  22:20, 28 June 2018 (EDT)
'''Oppose''' It's way too soon for this now. [[User:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: blue;">'''Aidan'''</span>]], [[User talk:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: blue;">'''the College-Bound Rurouni'''</span>]] 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''. [[File:NokiiSig.png]] [[User:Nokii|<span style="color:#8090d8;">'''Nokii''']]</span>''''' <sup>ε</sup>''''' (''[[User_talk:Nokii|T]] · [[Special:Contributions/Nokii|C]] · [[Special:Log/Nokii|L]]) 22:31, 28 June 2018 (EDT)
'''Oppose''': The lack of completeness is probably the biggest problem for the obvious reason of that it's still in development. We don't know things like: if there will be more newcomers (and if so, who they are), if there will be more stages, etc. And the information we do know is subject to change. Not that the article is "bad", just not suitable for FA for now. '''[[User:Voqéo|<span style="background:#000; color:white; padding:2px 6px;font-size:12px;">Voqéo</span>]][[User talk:Voqéo|<span style="background:#e70012; color:white; padding:2px 4px;font-size:12px;">T</span>]]''' 23:07, 28 June 2018 (EDT)
===[[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!

: '''Support''' I'll take that! [[Fire Breath]], anyone? [[User:Dragonfirebreath25|Dragonfirebreath25]] ([[User talk:Dragonfirebreath25|talk]]) 00:23, 3 July 2018 (EDT)

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

  1. 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?
  2. Relevance to Smash: Is the article directly related to the Smash series, or is it more tangential?
  3. 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 ~~~~
