A featured topic A featured topic is a collection of inter-related articles that are of a good quality (though are not necessarily featured articles). Each article in a featured topic is a high quality article in and of itself, and the organization between the articles exemplifies our very best work and features professional standards of organization and presentation. In addition to meeting the requirements for all Wikipedia articles, a featured topic has the following attributes:

  1. There should be a clear similarity between each of articles – they should be able to be grouped under one collective name
  2. There must be at least three separate articles
  3. All articles in the series should be linked together, preferably using a template
  4. There should not be any obvious gap (missing or stub article) in the topic
  5. Each article should be of a good quality, including references

As well as these requirements, the following are recommended:

  • The articles should be in the same category
  • The structure of the articles should be similar (having the same section titles and order where possible)
  • Each article should have been peer reviewed
  • The topic should not be too big. There is no maximum number of articles, but as a rule-of-thumb any topic with more than 25 entries can likely be broken down into sub-topics. For example, Science fiction movies would be too large a topic, but Star Trek movies would be good. This rule-of-thumb does not apply to items in a series. For example, every article from 1st Canadian Parliament to 39th Canadian Parliament could be included in one topic.
