Featured articles are considered to be some of the best articles 118Wiki has to offer, as determined by our editors. They are used as examples for writing other articles. The system of nomination and support is loosely based upon Wikipedia Featured Articles.

The content of a featured article should be of a standard where it can be held up as an example for people trying to develop other articles of a similar theme. They should be:

Well-written, comprehensive and accurate.
Have images and other media where they are appropriate to the subject, with succinct captions.
Include links to other articles where appropriate.
Be of appropriate length, staying focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail.

You are permitted to nominate articles you have written yourself, but you need the support of at least two other wiki editors before 118Wiki:Operations members can promote the article. When the article is promoted discussion will be moved to [[Talk:[Article name]/FA Discussion]].

Please add Featured Article Candidates below.

Current Featured Article Candidates

Please place each candidate article title as a linked level 3 header (like ===[[this]]===) below this italicised instruction text. The newest candidate is to be placed nearest the top. Please add Support, Oppose or Comment in bold in front of your first constructive comment in reply to an article name and stamp each comment with 4 tildes ~~~~. If you wish to switch your opinion, strikethrough your previous stance (by surrounding with <s> and </s> ~~like this~~) and post your new stance before your comment.

Thor Deck Layout

Oppose: It seems rather odd to me to feature a deck layout of a ship as a Featured Article, just because the content isn't really unique or in depth. To me the Featured Articles should do something more to draw the reader in than a deck layout does. Lephi talk 19:15, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

-===[[Shoals]]===
-'''Support:''' I am incredibly biased, but the [[Shoals]] is comprehensive, up to date, has relevant images, is perfectly legible, and serves as a portal for all things Shoals-region. '''[[User:Sky Blake|Deliera]]''' <big>♠</big> <small> [[USS Veritas|Veritas]] ▪ [[User talk:Sky Blake|talk]]</small> 09:38, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
-'''Support:''' When I first stumbled upon Starbase 118 earlier this year, the comprehensive nature of the [[Shoals]] article really pulled me in. The attention to detail is commendable, and easily formatted to fall down a great Wiki rabbit hole. '''[[User:Lephi|Lephi]]''' [[User talk:Lephi|talk]]</small> 13:14, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
-'''Support:''' The Shoals article is a really comprehensive, attractive article and I think it represents the best of 118 Wiki. Of particular note is the table of travel times which spell things out for new players, the clear and readable "Warning signs" for the area, and its overall clean layout.

-'''Support:''' I am biased as well (for obvious reasons), but I think the Shoals article is a really good example of what is good about a campaign region, and immediately convey's the flavor of the region. [[User:Ceciri|Ceciri Ariadust ]] ([[User talk:Ceciri|talk]]) 09:13, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
-:The Shoals has been promoted to Featured Article status. Thanks everyone! '''[[User:Sky Blake|Deliera]]''' <big>♠</big> <small> [[USS Veritas|Veritas]] ▪ [[User talk:Sky Blake|talk]]</small> 08:25, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
