This sub-article serves as a forum for discussion and nomination of articles for featured status on the main page.
2014-08
I'd like to kick off nominations for a new featured article to start as of August 1, and would like to start a monthly at-least rotation. Having Doom 4 featured on our front page during the reveal and QuakeCon events has actually boosted our page rank for that article above the other wiki's version for many Google search queries. I think this feature is a good opportunity to promote and make more visible our unique work. Articles should be of high quality, up to date, and have a stable reviewed version in order to bare minimum qualify. I would also suggest they should be TOC-bearing articles (having at least 4 major sections), and should have an article-top picture at the least. Feel free to nominate an article you feel deserves a time on the front page here. --Quasar (talk) 18:42, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
- Since nobody seems to be interested in getting the ball rolling, I am nominating The Ultimate Doom. --Quasar (talk) 16:12, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
- Stairs create unknown sector types: It's one of the most mysterious bugs in Doom, and the article covers the topic well. It deserves some extra attention, IMHO. --Jartapran (talk) 17:02, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
- Knee Deep in ZDoom seems like a nicely-fleshed article, my only gripe being the number of red links. --Chungy (talk) 21:52, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
- +1 for KDiZD. It's probably safe to de-link some of those people, as its probably not likely they'll have pages. I just wish there were a nicer way of wording that. --Eris Falling (talk) 22:10, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
- Previous discussions have suggested Ouch face, Shotgun, Doom rendering engine, E1M1, and E1M4. I would strenuously oppose the last, citing the crap LMPs. :>
- Others I think are comprehensive and clear, but not drowning in detail, and with at least one good image: Aliens TC, Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch, Intermission screen, Aspect ratio, Damaging floor. (My sticky fingerprints are all over some of these, so take with a grain of salt.) Ryan W (talk) 22:19, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Did a month really already pass? Time to think about this again. I'm going to re-nominate Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch from last month's suggestions, since it is on our list of pages with poor SEO and could use the boost. I've just completed a basic rewrite, but it could use a bit more work as there are a series of empty sections, such as "Weapons", which do not elaborate on the mod's content at all. --Quasar (talk) 15:22, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
