Voting Regulations
|
- Voting is currently open to all registered users.
- All votes must be signed with signatures (type four tildes (~~~~.)) Unsigned votes are automatically negated, regardless of any points made.
- An article will become automatically featured if it receives five (5) valid votes to support it and two (2) days have passed since the nomination.
- After two (2) weeks of being nominated, an article will be featured if it does not have more opposition than support. (this means a tie or zero votes will still result in a feature)
- An article will fail to become featured if it receives five (5) valid oppositions.
- There may be no more than six (6) nominated articles at one time. Do not add any more than this.
- The editor who puts the article up for nomination may not vote on it.
- Please add all oppositions/supports on a new line beginning with a number/pound/hash sign (#) to automatically create an alphanumeric list.
- Staff members reserve the right to negate any votes without notification of the voter if they are found to be in violation of any of these rules or if suspected of trolling.

Nomination Cooldown
|
Once an article has attained featured status, a total of thirty (30) days must pass before it can be nominated for unfeaturement.

Looking through the special pages, this is the longest page on the wiki that isn't featured and isn't a list page. I say we fix that (particularly because I spent an unearthly amount of time on this particular page :P). --Samwell (talk) 01:13, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
