What makes a featured article?[]
An article must…
- …be well-written and detailed.
- …be unbiased, non-point of view.
- …be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
- …follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies on Fairly Odd Parents Wiki.
- …following the review process, be stable, i.e. it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.
- …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
- …have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the front page featured box.
- …have no more than 3 redlinks and none in the introduction, infobox, or any templates.
- …have significant information from all sources and appearances, especially a biography for character articles.
- …not have been previously featured on the Main Page. Otherwise, it can only be restored to featured status.
- …be completely referenced for all available material and sources. See Fairly Odd Parents Wiki:Sourcing for more information.
- …have all quotes and images sourced.
- …provide at least one quote on the article. A leading quote at the beginning of the article will be required only if there is quotable dialogue by or about the subject. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
- …include a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.
- …counting the introduction and "Behind the scenes" material, be at least 1000 words long (not including captions, quotes, or headers, etc).

Featured Article Nominations[]
Choosing an Article[]
After the weekly polling is finished, the most popular articles will be chosen. From there, a staff member will take a careful look at each article to make sure that it is both informative, well constructed, contains plenty of images, and will also take in consideration the rating and popularity (hits) of the page. After a page has been nominated, the next week it will be moved to the archive and may not be nominated again unless the content in question has been changed considerably.
What Qualifies as a Featured Article[]
Any article can be featured article as long as it is well written. Featured Articles are not restricted to Characters, but may also include locations, episodes, and such.
