Featured articles showcase the very best work of the Clannad Wiki's numerous editors. In general, featured articles are well-written, comprehensive, and unbiased. A list of featured articles can be found here.

Articles are designated as featured after being nominated and reviewed by the community at large. Nominated articles undergoing the review process are evaluated against the following criteria:

  • It is well-written: its prose is engaging, and even of a professional standard.
  • It is comprehensive, neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context.
  • It is well-researched and gives thorough information on the subject the article discusses. Claims made are verifiable against valid sources such as Key or the Clannad visual novel, anime, manga, et cetera.
  • It stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail.
  • It is neutral, presenting views fairly and without bias.
  • It is stable: it is not subject to ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured article process.
  • It has a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections.
  • It has appropriate structure: a system of hierarchical section headings and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents.
  • It has images and other media where appropriate, with concise captions. Images and media used must have their correct copyright template in their own pages.
  • It has formatting consistent with other articles within the same category it is in and the wiki as a whole.

Wikipedians may notice that the Clannad Wiki's criteria is nearly identical to Wikipedia's own criteria for featured articles. It should be noted that the criteria used in this wiki may be interpreted more liberally compared to Wikipedia. Furthermore, original research is generally accepted in the Clannad Wiki. Fan speculation is generally accepted as well, provided that it is marked as such.

The following rubric, based on the above criteria, is used during the review process:

Criterion Incomplete (0) Poor (1) Acceptable (2) Excellent (3)
Prose Article contains an amount of prose too insignificant to grade; or prose contains numerous orthographic or grammatic errors, or is otherwise incomprehensible. Article contains multiple grammatic errors or awkward syntax which interrupts the flow of text. Article contains no errors of orthography, grammar, or syntax; the flow of text is continuous and the prose is easy to read. Article exceeds acceptable standards; prose is engaging and of publishable quality.
Comprehensiveness and Length Article provides few if any facts relevant to the topic. Article provides numerous relevant facts, but neglects significant information; or article provides unnecessary detail which causes the article to be of an unreasonable length. Article covers most major relevant facts and maintains a length reasonable to the importance of the subject. Article provides all major relevant facts and maintains a reasonable length by organizing its content into concise and engaging paragraphs.
Neutrality and Broadness of Scope Article is biased in its entirety, or is written as an advertisement or argument; or article does not include a broad enough survey of available information to ascertain neutrality. Article does not consistently maintain a neutral point of view; or article contains only a narrow survey of available information. Article maintains a neutral point of view and contains a broad survey of available information. Article exceeds acceptable standards by ensuring that any and all significant conflicting views are represented, providing primary sources to verify information that is not conjectural.
Structure Article does not contain a lead or introduction; or article does not employ headings when they would be useful and appropriate. Lead section of article does not adequately introduce or summarize its contents; or article employs an amount of headings disproportionate to the article size. Article contains an introduction which adequately summarizes the article's contents; article makes use of headings where they are appropriate. Article contains an engaging introduction and employs headings in a manner which enhances the text of the article, making it more accessible to the reader.
Media Article contains no images or other media, or contains media irrelevant to the topic. Article contains at least one relevant image or other media item. Article contains one or more relevant media items which contain appropriate and succinct captions. Article exceeds acceptable standards by including media which enhances the content of the article and appropriately illustrates the article's topic.
Consistency Article does not maintain a style consistent with other articles of comparable topics. Article maintains minimal consistency with comparable articles by including a relevant infobox or navigational template. Article maintains consistency with comparable articles in both structure and appearance, through use of an infobox or navigational template and other general templates. Article exceeds acceptable standards by being properly categorized and allowing for the seamless integration of the article with related articles, providing links to other relevant pages and ensuring smooth user navigation.

The wiki's editors may comment on the article's quality using the above rubric. Nominations that are deemed to meet each criterion excellently will be granted featured status by an admin. Once a nominated article is granted featured status, it will be added to Category:Featured articles and labelled with {{Featured article}}. A featured article's status may be challenged by editors if they believe that the article's quality has fallen since it became featured. In that case, the article will once again go through the review process and, if sufficient evidence is found that it no longer meets the criteria, its featured status will be revoked.
