The purpose of this section is to determine which pages can be listed on Misplaced Pages:Featured articles. A featured article is an article that exemplifies Misplaced Pages's very best work. (For more information see what is a featured article) Articles featured on the front page are currently chosen as a subset of the featured articles - see Template talk:feature.

Anyone can nominate any article. If you are nominating an article you have worked on or copyedited, note it up front as a self-nomination. After nominating an article, you may want to place a notice on its talk page to alert readers by adding the message {{fac}}. It is strongly suggested you only have one nomination at a time, so that you will have time to fix objections. You may also consider taking an article to Peer review first.

Please read any nominated article in full before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.

  • If you oppose a nomination, write "Object.", followed by the reason for your objection. (Note - all objections must be actionable. That is, they must give a specific rationale for the objection. If nothing can be done to "fix" the objected-to matter, then the objection is invalid. This includes objections to an article's suitability for the Misplaced Pages Main Page, unless such suitability can be fixed.) Sign your objection. If the heading of the article says "Uncontested", please change it to "Contested". You may wish to draw attention to the objection by replacing {{fac}} with {{fac-contested}} on the article's talk page so that it can be dealt with by editors who do not follow this page.
  • If you withdraw your objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) and, if you are the only remaining objector, change "Contested" back to "Uncontested." Do not change the heading's date.
  • If you approve of an article, write "Support" and state your reasons.

If there are no objections after at least one week, candidates can be added to FA. If there are objections, a consensus must be reached. If enough time passes (approximately two weeks) without objections being resolved an article may be removed from the candidates list. Anyone may add approved pages to FA or remove prospects that have failed. After an article becomes featured, a link to the article should be added in the proper category on FA. The nomination statement should be removed from the article's talk page replaced with {{featured}}.
