::::I think v1.6 of mediawiki will allow some of the Portal-like features they have on their main page with out all the ugly html. Although, honestly, if we could get it to look like memory-alpha WITH ugly hacks and html (even without v1.6) I'd be up for it. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 16:07, 4 April 2006 (CDT) | ::::I think v1.6 of mediawiki will allow some of the Portal-like features they have on their main page with out all the ugly html.

== What should be the Standards? == | |||
Me and Silverviper talked about it for a short while (See below) and came up with those ideas. Now I know we been discussion [[Battlestar_Wiki:Quality_Articles]], but there is a difference. QA are articles that are good enough to be a QA, but not enough to be Featured on the Main Page of the site. Some of the same Criteria for QA can also be established for FA, but FA most go through a more different process for it to be posted on the Main Page. That's all I can think of now. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 20:46, 19 March 2006 (CST) | |||
:I don't know, they seem like exactly the same thing to me. I prefer the "featured article" name in any case. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 18:29, 4 April 2006 (CDT) | |||
::I really think "Quality Articles" is redundant. "Featured Article" makes sense. Memory Alpha just uses "Featured Articles". --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 19:52, 4 April 2006 (CDT) | |||
== Google Chat Discussions == | |||
=== Mar 17: Me (Shane) and Matt (Steelviper) === | |||
<pre> | |||
Matt: I'd lean towards deletion | |||
in its stated form, it's pretty redundant with featured article | |||
1:37 PM in order to be a featured article, an article must possess a certain standard of quality | |||
(wow... you can quote me on that) | |||
1:38 PM me: (saved! looved google talk) | |||
Matt: maybe list out some criteria... | |||
no broken links | |||
no spelling/grammar issues | |||
me: Some images | |||
Matt: citations for all info | |||
yeah | |||
images are a must | |||
me: More than one | |||
1:39 PM Size | |||
Matt: at least one | |||
me: To large | |||
hard to read | |||
to small.. not enough content | |||
Matt: I wouldn't hold size against a page | |||
that would have dq'd the miniseries article | |||
1:40 PM stubs are definitely out | |||
me: aye | |||
Matt: it'd be good to quantify a minimum size | |||
</pre> | |||
:Just a note: Matt==Steelviper. Sylverviper is a far more artistic soul on the skiffy boards. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 20:58, 19 March 2006 (CST) | |||

I swiped most of the text from the "quality articles" project, and added a few other requirements as a potential springboard for what a featured article might need. Feel free to hack and slash at it, or discuss it on this talk page. There wasn't much activity on this, so I hoped this would help get the ball rolling. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:23, 2 May 2006 (CDT) | I swiped most of the text from the "quality articles" project, and added a few other requirements as a potential springboard for what a featured article might need.

:Sounds good. The only issue then would just be remembering to swap out it out each month. Maybe if we could have a system generated email or other notification to remind us. A lot of time I just flat forget that it's the beginning of the month. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 17:40, 22 July 2008 (UTC) | :Sounds good.

::Shouldn't be that difficult, using the <nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}</nowiki> magic word in the template call, the page would automatically update.
