Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Pruning instructions
After one week, anyone may promote candidates to Wikipedia:Featured articles, or remove candidates that have failed.
Promoting a candidate to featured status
[edit]Only articles without unresolved objections should be promoted to featured status, unless there is a strong consensus otherwise.
- Add a link to the article in the proper category on Wikipedia:Featured articles.
- On the article talk page, replace the
{{fac}}template with{{featured}}. - Move the discussion to Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Featured log.
Removing a candidate with unresolved objections
[edit]- On the article talk page, either remove the
{{fac}}template or replace it with{{fac-contested}}. - Move the discussion to Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Archived nominations.
Sending a candidate to peer review
[edit]Only do this if there is a consensus to send the candidate to peer review. There are two ways to accomplish this:
- Move the entire discussion to Wikipedia:Peer review.
- If the discussion is lengthy, move it to the article's talk page and post a brief listing on Wikipedia:Peer review.
