Discussion[edit]
- develop criteria for selection of content to be featured on the Main page
- does a content item need a certain # of support votes by other users?
- what happens in conflict-of-interest cases when a user recommending content is the author?
- how to select for something like WikiProject of the month? Should we select? Or should WikiProjects submit themselves as candidates?
- develop recommendations for a schedule of content
- can the same content be featured on the Main page more than once?
- how frequently can a certain item of content be repeated?
- how often should the "Discover section" be updated?
- should outside tools/platforms be highlighted, for example Histropedia?
Guidelines[edit]
