The Featured Articles component of LPedia highlights an article on the home page. Which article is featured changes from time to time.
Purposes
Among the purposes of featuring an article on the home page are:
- to present a more dynamic appearance to returning visitors
- to highlight some topic that many users might find interesting but that they wouldn't otherwise easily find
- to provide examples of types of topics on which contributors might want to work
- to illustrate formats, styles, and techniques that authors/editors might want to emulate in other articles of the same type
- to inspire contributors to create and improve pages that might be worth featuring in the future
History
Wikipedia has long featured an article on its home page. Our home page design was originally derived from the public domain Marspedia, designed by Dr Ian O'Neil, one of the main people behind the Seeker News YouTube channel; that wiki included a featured article.
Although we have had featured articles for most of the time that LPedia has existed, they haven't been changed often enough to properly serve the purposes outlined above, or as often as the featured articles on some other wikis. We have been working recently to address this issue.
Future Plans
Proposed Articles to Feature
Please add articles that are suitable to feature in this section. The article should be in reasonably good shape and include a graphic. If one does not exist, it must be reasonably easy to find and add one so that it can be made the featured article. If relevant, please ensure that the article is reasonably up to date (current officers and staff, is this person still alive if the article says they are, et c.)
