{{guideline}}
Here we determine which articles are featured on [[WikiFur:Featured articles]], and on the front page. '''A featured article should exemplify WikiFur's very best work.''' See [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:What is a featured article|what is a featured article]] for criteria.

Once [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] has been reached about a particular topic, place a summary of it it in the next available slot, and update the featured article pages to reflect this. For an article that is particularly significant on a certain day, such as a radio broadcast, it may be suitable to postpone it to a later date.

__TOC__
== Procedure ==

=== Adding nominations ===
#'''Check the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:What is a featured article|featured article criteria]]''' and make sure the article meets ''all'' of them before nominating.
#*WikiFur is not as big as Wikipedia, therefore it may be appropriate to nominate articles that are lacking in one or more areas. You should still try to remedy this to the best of your ability before nominating it.
#Place <tt><nowiki>{{FAC}}</nowiki></tt> on the talk page of the nominated article.
#From there, click on the "leave comments" link.
#''(If you are resubmitting an article)'' Use the '''Move''' button to rename the previous nomination to an archive. For example, [[WikiFur:Featured article candidates/Television]] → [[WikiFur:Featured article candidates/Television/archive1]]
#Place <tt><nowiki>===[[name of nominated article]]===</nowiki></tt> at the top.
#Below it, write your reason for nominating the article.
#Finally, place <tt><nowiki>{{WikiFur:Featured article candidates/name of nominated article}}</nowiki></tt> at the top of the list of nominees on this page by first copying the above, clicking "edit" on the top of the page, and then pasting, making sure to add the name of the nominated article.

=== Supporting and objecting ===

Please read nominated articles fully before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.
* To edit nominations in order to comment on them, you must click the "edit" link to the right of the article nomination on which you wish to comment (not the overall page's "edit this page" link).
* If you approve of an article, write <nowiki>'''Support'''</nowiki> followed by your reasons.
* If you oppose a nomination, write <nowiki>'''Object'''</nowiki> followed by the reason for your objection. Each objection must provide '''a specific rationale that can be addressed'''. If nothing can be done in principle to "fix" the source of the objection, the objection may be ignored.
** To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with <tt><nowiki><s>...</s></nowiki></tt>) rather than removing it.

Consensus must be reached in order to be promoted to featured article status. This will probably involve some changes to the article based on feedback. Before objecting, consider just changing the article yourself so you don't have to.

=== Writing a good summary ===

Once an article has been selected, it should be summarised in a way that encourages readers to read more about the topic. Ideally, the first paragraph of a featured article is already a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Lead section|lead section]], but if it is not you may need to adjust the article. You '''should''' merge these sorts of refactoring changes back to the original.

Once this is done, pick and choose sections of the lead to be placed in the featured text. You may also decide to include the lead portions of further sections within the article, or to synthesise your own summary of them. Try to include plenty of links within the summary so that readers have an easy time reading about related topics too.

The final touch is the picture. This should usually be right-aligned and sized to anywhere between 100px to 150px, depending on the shape of the image. Don't forget to turn the text of the article name into a '''bolded''' link to the article, otherwise people won't be able to read more about the topic.

=== Featuring an article ===
Once the summary is written, you should feature the article:

#Place the summary on the appropriate page - e.g. <tt><nowiki>[[WikiFur:This week's featured article/</nowiki>Week {{CURRENTWEEK}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}]]</tt>
#Change the template on the article's talk page from <tt><nowiki>{{FAC}}</nowiki></tt> to <tt><nowiki>{{featured}}</nowiki></tt>
#Add <tt><nowiki>{{featured article}}</nowiki></tt> to the very bottom of the article itself (''after'' categories)
#Make a note of the featured article in the [[WikiFur:Featured articles#{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|appropriate section]] of the Featured articles page
#Add <tt><nowiki>{{WikiFur:This week's featured article/</nowiki>Week {{CURRENTWEEK}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</tt> to the top of the [[WikiFur:Featured articles/Complete|complete list of featured articles]]
#Click the header of the month name on that page to bring up the featured article log for that month, and move the nomination discussion template from below to the top of that page.

{{Featured-Comic}}[[Image:Jack_jackrabbit.jpg|left|frame]]Compare this image to the screenshot shown in the [[Wikipedia:Jazz Jackrabbit 2|Jazz Jackrabbit 2]] Wikipedia entry.
The only similarities between Jazz and Jack is that they're [[lapine]] and green. :) [[User:CarlFox|Carl Fox]] 13:15, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:To clarify - there is '''no''' correlation between the ''Jack'' strip and the ''Jazz Jackrabbit'' video game. I've removed the link, according. I'll create a [[Jazz Jackrabbit]] entry shortly. [[User:CarlFox|Carl Fox]] 02:25, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I thought it was a little off. No need to delete the image as you can use it there. I may see about contacting the Jack forum, asking if people want to contribute to the article. -[[User:Nidonocu|Nidonocu]] - [[User talk:Nidonocu|talk]] [[Image:Trans 168.png|16px|Nidonocu]] 02:28, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Cameos in Jack ==
I think there are a few more cameos in Jack than just Uncle Kage...I know I've seen Sue Deer, Gene Catlow & Cotton, Vinci & Arty, AND Trixi & Tet! I think there were some appearances by Rafe, Pink, Silverblue, and Miss Mab, but I don't have time/patience to check. And there are a few others, I just don't know their names.{{unsigned|206.57.89.177}}

~There are many forumites in there as well!~{{unsigned|76.123.75.173}}

==Jack the webcomic and Jack the character==
Should we create seperate articles?--[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 19:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I think that would be the best idea. [[User:ISD|ISD]] 16:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
