This page is used to nominate images and articles to be featured on the Main Page. The nominations for an article or image are held on the [[PikminFanon:Featured content/nominations|nominations page]]. Once a nomination is finished, it should be moved to the [[PikminFanon:Featured content/past nominations|archive of nominations]]. However, in periods of low activity, any administrator may feature content without using the nomination system, in order to keep the Main Page fresh and interesting, and may also feature content that they themselves created.

Additionally, the formerly featured content should be moved to the nomination archive.

Note that diminished activity on the wiki may extend the period in which content is featured. Additionally, during periods of low activity, staff members may choose new content to feature without needing any prior consensus, although they must still abide by the rules just as anyone else.

Featured Pikmin

Pikmin Fanon used to feature fanmade Pikmin using the same processes used to determine featured articles and files. They were displayed on the main page, below the featured article, and their articles would be marked with the {{fp}} template in much the same way featured articles are marked with {{fa}} and featured files {{ff}}. A collection of featured Pikmin is found here.
