-== Scrap the weekly rotation on featured articles and images (April 13th, 2021 - April 27th, 2021) ==
+''None at this time.''
-So, it's come to my attention that we seem to be having trouble remembering to manually update the featured article and image rotation every Sunday. Due to this persistent negligence, I think it may be best to scrap the rotation system altogether and go back to how things were done before: that is, only showing the newest feature on the main page at any given time. Perhaps what we could do instead is have a cycling set of links to previous featured content similar to how the DYK template operates which automatically updates every day, which would display below the main featured content boxes, but that would be separate to this specific proposal. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 20:19, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

-#As the one who proposed implementing cycling in the first place, I can't agree at all. How do we know we can have a constant feed of new FAs, and not end up with another KDL2 situation? How do we get an older FA featured again? We have a host of fine articles that were featured in the past, and I don't see a justifiable reason to just ignore that. Featurement doesn't mean a whole lot when it's just a one-time deal. And if the problem is simply forgetting to update it, perhaps there's a way to automate it; but either way, I fail to see how that in itself is a justifiable reason to scrap cycling altogether. If you have revisions to the current system in mind, I'm all ears, but I just can't agree with going back to the way it was. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 04:11, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
-#Like Gigi said in the comments, it would probably be better to make the system more organized (rather than destroying it), and like YFJ said, previosly featured articles should still get shown on the main page at some point, ''especially'' to avoid an FA that doesn't ever get changed. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 14:30, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

-#I'm indifferent about this. While the current system is by no means perfect, this one has problems too, as YFL pointed out above. Additionally, I don't mean to sound rude as I lack knowledge and experience, but why would taking a step back be the solution? I'm sure there was a reason why it was changed before. Wouldn't it be better to come up with a new, improved system? [[User:Infinite Possibilities|Infinite Possibilities]] ([[User talk:Infinite Possibilities|talk]]) 10:00, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
-===Discussion===
-About the rotation, and how it often doesn't happen because it's forgotten, I wonder if that's due to how it's just a task that isn't very organized or documented anywhere. Wouldn't it be better to try to delegate the task to someone (or a group of users) and/or create a guide on how to update it? And perhaps create a supplementary page with a list of all featured pages and articles to help with the rotation. Just some ideas that came to my mind. In short, I just think we could try to make the system easier for updating rather than scrap it entirely, and while I thought of automatizing the rotation, it may not be needed if we can just organize the task better. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 14:23, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
