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:
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:
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. This is a high-risk page which can only be edited by administrators.
