Featured guides on StrategyWiki are the best of the best. These guides will not only be able to walk you through the game, but provide information so complete that there really isn't anything content-wise that can be improved upon on a major scale. If you feel that a guide deserves to be featured on the front page, please follow the nomination process outlined below.

The Decision Process

Decision on whether a guide will be featured or not is based off of consensus. Therefore, even a guide that has more opposing votes than supporting votes may be featured if there is a large enough consensus to do so. The purpose of the vote count is to let people know at a glance how the nomination is doing. Nominations may end early if there are enough supporting or opposing votes, however.

The nomination will not end until it is deemed as successful or unsuccessful based off of the consensus. Please do not move or remove any candidacies if you are not a Sysop, doing so may result in a temporary block.
