Help Guide

Here, users can nominate and vote for Zelda Wiki's next featured article. Any article worthy of being featured exemplifies the Wiki's quality standards, and goes above and beyond what is expected in a normal encyclopedia entry. Featured articles should:

1. Have exceptionally fluid American English grammar and spelling.
2. Be lengthy, yet detailed.
3. Be well organized (as in subdivisions).
4. Cite sources, and cite them properly.
5. Be properly categorized.
6. Contain the most up-to-date information possible.
7. Have no template requesting improvement, merging, deletion, or any template that may in some way state the article is not of excellent quality. In this respect, there should be no duplicate of the nominated article, nor should the article be a duplicate of another page.
8. NOT be copied from Wikipedia, or from any site that does not run the Wiki, under any circumstances!

For help on the correct format used to add nominations or votes, see the Featured Content Help.

Currently Nominated

Rauru

I believe that Rauru is very worthy of receiving featured article status. Although it is a bit short, it is very well-written and thorough. It properly sources it's information, and the images are of high-quality. This page needs your vote! —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 21:23, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

1. I think that Rauru is great he helps link. --Link6767 23:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Opposition

1. This is very small page. The references alone make up nearly a third of the page. It is way too brief to be featured.User:Matt/sig 23:34, March 28, 2009 (UTC)
2. Yes. It is quite short. Reference section is longer than the actual page. Not long enough to be featured.User:Mandi/sig 23:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Warping

Finally a lengthy page not concerning characters or games. Informative and concise enough to be a resource for all of the series applicable titles. Interesting to read and get the whole picture of the function as gaming progressed. As a bonus, it could serve as an example of what other articles spanning throughout the series could be.User:Axiomist/sig 04:29, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

1. I'm for it. It' got a nice amount of images, very lengthy in size, nicely laid out, etc. I think this would make a great featured article. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 16:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
2. The article is well written and very detailed. Refreshing, considering it is not concerning characters or games. Totally feature worthy.User:Mandi/sig 22:28, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
3. The article is written well, decent length, and has plenty of details. Considering it isn't concerning any of the characters or games, this is very good. —Kybyrian ^(T C) 04:47, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
4. Decent length, good grammar usage, and very good referencing. Regardless of not being a character or place it is deserving of being featured in it's own right. --Nathan 06:38, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
5. A few months ago this article was scrappily written and badly laid out, however the work that has been put into it by some dedicated editors has made it great. The images are relevant and good quality, the content it well written and everything is covered. Definitely featured material. User:Melchizedek/sig 12:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Sage

With the work of the Zelda Wiki community, this article has become a well written, and informative page. Quite an accomplishment to everyone who contributed.User:Mandi/sig 04:28, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

1. It seems to me to be rather well organized. And it has a very appealing overall layout. And it certainly fits the other criteria.User:Matt/sig 23:37, March 28, 2009 (UTC)
2. I would vote for this one because it goes more in depth in Sages than Rauru's page does. --Skermefaten 23:51, 2 April 2009 (UTC)Skermefaten
